The third edition of “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” festival Feb. 19-22, with the opening night at The Commune CNX, returned to RX Cafe in Chiang Mai, Thailand for three nights of arts, crafts, food and live music. The annual event brings together prominent Myanmar artists, cooks, and activists to celebrate their resistance to the 2021 military coup for the third year in-a-row.

“[This] event is giving a platform for artists, especially those from Myanmar. Whether they are in [living] exile, at the border or inside the country. Many haven’t had the opportunity to showcase their work, and this festival provides them with the space to be part of something bigger,” said Hnin Win, the founder of A New Burma which hosts ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.’
