áááºážáá»á áºááá¯áẠ| Min Chit Paing
To my own self, born and living perfectly in my queerness. Writing these poems, I no longer possess the reckless courage of a twenty-three-year-old; perhaps that boldness has begun to fray. Even to say âI have tried my bestâ feels like an unmasking of human ego, doesnât it? When there is so little left to hold onto, one becomes afraid to let go. That is why I often lacked the bravery to cut away the excess and leave things unsaid.
Min Chit Paing writes because he cannot speak. A Myanmar writer who first found refuge in short stories, he later turned toward poetry as a challenge to his own craft.

Poetry reading session on opening at 6pm Thursday 21st of May @infra.practice
âFour Elementsâ / âáá¬ááºáá±áž á áá«ážâ
Four resident artists will bring together through performance, painting, film, poetry, and artist sharing.
The idea behind the exhibition is that each artist carries a different kind of energy and practice â movement/dance as air, painting as earth, film/light and darkness as fire, and poetry/writing as water. Together, the exhibition reflects how their different practices are moving toward one shared direction of expression, release, and transformation.
The exhibition will take place at Infra Practice (Chiang Mai) from 21â24 May 2026

Reimagining Collective Action to Respond to Baliâs Greedy Tourism
By by Gilang Propagila
Dis-Print Kultur//Tektonik Records(indonesia)
â° Tuesday, February 24th, 3-5pm
ð Infraâ¢Pracrice, Chiang Mai, Thailand(DM for Address)
Rooted in the spirit of DIY Punk and solidarity in resistance, this session invites us to explore how a friendship-based community can transform into a collective learning space and independent economic base amid the massive expansion of Baliâs tourism industry.
Gilang Propagila will share stories about building community as a space for learning, self-organization, and contribution to broader social movements. Beyond cultural resistance, this initiative also experimenting with establishing a cooperative as a creative economic foundation capable of sustaining collective action.
From collective spaces to street demonstrations, from cultural resistance to cooperative projects, this is an effort to reimagine collective movements as a strategy to confront Baliâs greedy tourism industry. Building alternativesânot only in discourse, but also in everyday practice.

Weâre building a commons: a shared archive and community space dedicated to histories of resistance, marginalized cultures, and experimental practices. The space works in relation with local communities and diasporic networks, developing infrastructure for archiving, printing, circulation, and collective work. Through this shared base, we aim to strengthen transregional solidarities and sustain everyday forms of mutual support and collective action.
To mark the opening, we host two days of public activations on February 24â25th. More details follow soon, stay tuned.
