3AM is a performance art collective co-founded by Ma Ei, Ko Latt and Yadanar Win. The three artists decided to begin collaborating while participating in a group exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2016. They are the first performance art collective in Myanmar and each member maintains their own individual performance and multimedia practices, as well as signalling the important role performance has played in the development of contemporary art in Myanmar.

Through improvisation, live public performances, studio productions and on-location photographic series, 3AM highlights the country’s ongoing political instability, as well as issues of gender, sexuality, inequality and other social situations. In their works, the artists rely only on their bodies and each other to convey the urgency and threats in the subjects they target. As their actions become physically entwined and collectively improvised, 3AM reflects Myanmar society coming to terms with the reality and complexity of current conditions.
