For this project, I collaborated with Doh Eain staff to develop and execute the Mobile "A Mhike Ka Nay Shwe" (Trash to Treasure) museum. This initiative, created for the social enterprise Doh Eain, aimed to engage community members and share ideas about waste management and recycling in Yangon, Myanmar. The museum was designed as part of a circular economy initiative, focusing on creating alternative markets through the Building Better Markets Project in Yangon that targeted both the formal and informal economy.
The project involved consulting with staff and the community to develop a muesum and installation that were easily accessible, transferable, and universally understandable. As an art object and installation space, the museum activated urban areas in downtown Yangon through narrative, memory, and social engagement.
The museum featured common everyday single-use plastic items, accompanied by explanations aimed at eliminating waste and promoting the continual use of resources. These explanations were provided in various languages to ensure accessibility for a diverse range of community members.
