Moe Satt started creating art after graduating from East Yangon University in Myanmar with a degree in Zoology in 2005 and is part of a new generation of emerging Burmese artists. In 2008, he founded and organized ‘Beyond Pressure’, an international festival of performance art in Myanmar. As a performance artist, Satt has performed in galleries and on the streets of Yangon. He has been actively participating in live arts festivals in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and on the international stage. Through his travel encounters, Satt sees the differences between performance artists from both open and those from more restricted societies. While contemplating the regional landscape of performance art and the artistic mindset of individual countries in the region, he has developed a greater understanding of his own identity as an artist and as a person.
