Respect Our Culture 🇲🇲 :
A STATEMENT ON CULTURAL RESPECT AND HERITAGE
Our cultural heritage is NOT your aesthetic.
Our traditional cultural heritage, mythical creatures formed from different animals, traditional attire, historical symbols, everyday objects, currency and coins, royal insignia, traditional terminology, performing arts, cuisine, and mineral resources are not merely visual inspirations to be used without acknowledging their origins.
These are valuable parts of our history, identity, and cultural legacy, passed down from generation to generation. They carry meanings and significance that go far beyond their appearance.
Regarding the Scarlet Heart Thailand controversy, we believe that cultural elements resembling Myanmar’s traditional heritage should be approached with respect, cultural awareness, and proper acknowledgment of their origins. When using or portraying elements that bear similarities to another culture, it is important to recognize their historical and cultural significance rather than treating them as mere aesthetic choices.
Cultural appreciation must come with cultural respect.
We are not asking anyone to disregard or disrespect Thai culture or any other culture. We are simply asking for Myanmar’s cultural heritage to receive the same respect, recognition, and consideration that every nation’s heritage deserves.
Our history is not a costume.
Our cultural symbols are not mere decorations.
Our heritage is not a trend to be borrowed without consideration.
Our culture is our identity. Our heritage is our history. Our traditions deserve respect.
We respectfully urge the production team and everyone involved to acknowledge the cultural origins and significance of the elements presented, and to approach cultural representation with greater sensitivity and responsibility.
RESPECT OUR CULTURE.
ACKNOWLEDGE OUR HERITAGE.
RESPECT MYANMAR. 🇲🇲
