A Journey into the Dreams with Kumjings

everythingbutharleyquinn:

Another project by EMPOWER, migrant sex workers who are prevented from crossing borders and travelling for work due to not having proper identification papers, make papier-mache likenesses of themselves to be taken to AIDS conferences to highlight their issues. It is possible for organisations to adopt Kumjings and Scarlet Alliance, the Australian sex workers association, adopted a Kumjing named Chan, an alter ego of a Burmese sex worker, for several years. She travelled with us to sex worker events all across Australia and stood watch over the office.

Translated from Filipino:

Kumjing dreams to go to school in Thailand. Muey dreams to have child delivered in the hospital in Thailand, so that her child will be healthy and strong. Dao dreams to have a job to earn salary, so she thinks it is better to be jailed inside Thailand as she may be able to get a job 
in Thailand, later. 

      Kumjing a woman from Burma with hundreds of her friends, traveled through many mountains and rivers to reach Thailand border. Their dreams is to see civilization in Bangkok. 
But..Kumjing and all of her friends are labeled as cross-border criminals, drug sellers, prostitutes  and diseases spreaders including AIDS, etc.

“Labour Sans Frontieres” is an art project, to deliver stories, thoughts, and dreams of these migrants labours,  who have come a long way to the border towns of  Thailand soil. 

      ”Labour Sans Frontieres” is a collections of handmade works by migrants. They made these paper mache dolls to represent themselves, in places, cities, wherever their dreams bring them to.

The paper mache dolls were made by immigrants women at EMPOWER center in Maesai, a small border town of 
Changrai province in the north of Thailand.

       The doll represented dreams of those who made them, One of their dreams is to come to Bangkok.

       After the first public display at democracy monument,then later, more than 250 dolls were installed  at XV international AIDS Conference in Bangkok,July 2004 

       The project come out from a small art training program at EMPOWER center in Maesai, when 3  women artists from Bangkok started an art workshop for women who come to the center. The
