The Ramayana in Myanmar | A Burmese Tapestry (Kalaga/shwe chi doe) | Curator's Corner S8 Ep10

In 1767, Hsinbyushin, king of the Konbaung dynasty of central Myanmar, launched an attack on the kingdom of Ayutthaya (central Thailand). After Hsinbyushin's victory, many of Ayutthaya's people were forcibly moved into the Burmese heartland, but with some continuing to work in their specialist fields. One such group were the Thai theatrical troupes. And they took the Burmese court by storm by giving performances of the Ramayana epic.
Today, curator Alexandra Green looks at a ‘shwe chi doe’ or ‘kalaga’, which is a textile hanging from central Myanmar. The textiles depicts scenes from the 'The Ramayana', which originated in India, but which was adapted for local use in many parts of Southeast Asia. Although known in Myanmar before 1767, the narrative became particularly popular after the arrival of the Thai troupes. It was performed and adapted in a variety of art forms, showing the lasting impact of Thai theatre in Myanmar.
Burma to Myanmar is on until 11 February 2024.

Thank you ! Looking forward to checking out this exhibition in December. I've been to Ayutthaya only once mainly cos of a popular Thai tv series that is based during that era. Love Destiny series - Buppae Sunniwat & Prom Likit. 😊 As well as the docu 'Mark of Empire'
It's curious why they incorporated Ramayana and the sacking of Ayutthaya in this textile.

We did a family yrip to Ayuttya. Hugely interesting remains ... but that substantial city had bee reduced to a skeleton by the Burmese. Like the ruins of a 1945 European city after a 1000 bomder raid.

[@NaveenKumar-ys6gl]

Ramayana happened in India, you should have mentioned that as well

It’s a lot more complex than this. Especially with Hanuman in several stories. There are hundreds of characters and the stories are all interwoven. This is why it’s a good thing India is a living culture. It is why I watch and listen to so many things about India, Indian media, Indian film, Indian music, etc. ❤

Where and when was it stolen?

[@martlettoo]

You do realize "foreign" people know how to sell and gift things too, right?

[@martlettoo]

​@@grazieladelemme975 lol, Spanish speaking people never stole anything from native people, now did they? Just entire continents, their lives, their religion, their art, their resources.... and on and on. Pot calling the kettle black 😂😂😂

[@haumakaa]

@@martlettoo So ignorant. The rapanui people is also a spanish speaker people. Is bilingual. Poor excuse the lenguage. How would you feel if we had stolen the stones from Stonehenge to put them in a museum on Easter Island? It's worse, because for we, the Rapanui, the moai is a sacred friend. Return the moai and all the stolen things.
