'Bitch better have my democracy,' by Richie Htet: This iconic protest movement image was smuggled out of Myanmar for the Berlin exhibition.
When he posted it on social media, the image immediately went viral. I wanted to create something triumphant," Htet tells DW. There were a lot of images of the atrocities circulating on the Internet. Titled "Bitch better have my democracy," it's a striking and colorful work by artist Richie Htet, who painted it soon after Myanmar's military coup in February 2021. The oil painting that opens the exhibition has a spectacular journey behind it: rolled up and disguised as hand luggage, it was recently smuggled out of Myanmar.
