From the Pyu peoples who founded some of Southeast Asia’s earliest urban centres, to the present-day country overshadowed by decades of civil wars and military rule, the many histories of Myanmar – also known as Burma – weave a complex web balancing interconnectedness and isolation. For much of its history, Myanmar was composed of numerous states, kingdoms and ethnicities with fluid spheres of influence and connection. After the whole country was incorporated into the British Empire in 1886, colonial administrative procedures like the census were introduced. These established boundaries and stereotyped ethnically diverse peoples into one generic identity. Though today its varied and rich history is little known in the West, Myanmar’s arts and cultures have been shaped from an early date through creative ingenuity spurred by connections between global trade routes, religious networks and dozens of indigenous city states, each with their own unique character. Head to the link in our bio to follow the changes and complexities of this cultural crossroad, with our Burma timeline.
