Sai ▇▇▇ is a Shan multidisciplinary artist, curator, and human rights advocate from Myanmar, who operates under an alias for safety reasons. His work, including the project Trails of Absence, centers on documenting the trauma, resilience, and unyielding spirit of those who have suffered under Myanmar’s junta regime since the 2021 coup. Sai’s art and advocacy explore the brutal realities faced by political prisoners, including his own family—his father, a democratic chief minister, was abducted, tortured, and sentenced to 20 years by the military junta, while his mother remains under constant surveillance. In July 2024, his childhood home in Shan State was destroyed by a military junta airstrike amid escalating violence.

Sai has been actively involved in international advocacy, including exhibits, congressional briefings, and parliamentary advocacy, to bring attention to the Myanmar crisis. His ongoing work draws on extensive research and firsthand survivor accounts, as detailed in his recent manuscript, "Myanmar Junta’s Playbook for Kidnapping, Abduction, Torture, Arbitrary Detention, and Extrajudicial Killings." Currently, he is collecting evidence and testimonies alongside his colleagues to establish a Peace Museum of Myanmar, aiming to support restorative justice. Through both art and activism, Sai works to amplify silenced voices and advocate for justice, while connecting with international entities like the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and Magnum Photos.
