In the dramatic year that followed the 2007 uprising of the Burmese monks, three Swedish photo journalists visited different parts of Burma. At the exhibition “Sightseeing: Burma” you can see Pelle Kronestedt’s film about the devastation of the cyclone, Moa Karlberg’s pictures of activist monks and Tomas Ohlsson’s photos from the isolated capital Naypyidaw.
