ALBUQUERQUE, NM, USA - June 18, 2023 - THE BURMA CRAFT COLLECTIVE, the First Local Enterprise from Myanmar to Launch a Kickstarter Campaign, is set to captivate the world with their unrivaled gemstone artworks. This groundbreaking initiative aims to support and empower local artisans in Mogok, Burma, while preserving the region's cultural heritage through an international platform.

For centuries, the people of Mogok have been passionately handcrafted gemstone paintings, using low-grade rough gemstones or mineral stones found in the region, to create unique and striking pieces of art.Their dedication to their craft is inspiring and this traditional art form is deeply ingrained in their cultural heritage, showcasing the intersection of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

Mogok, an 800 years old historic city in northern Myanmar (Burma), is renowned for its world's finest gems, including ruby, sapphire, spinel, peridot, and moonstone. It is home to thousands of working mines and diggings, as well as the heart of local independent artisans who handcraft gemstone paintings using the low-grade rough gemstones and mineral stones found in the region.

Unfortunately, with the changing times and the rise of mass-produced goods, the demand for traditional artisan crafts has significantly declined. This unfortunate circumstance has left many talented local artisans struggling to make ends meet and endangered the preservation of their cultural heritage.

THE BURMA CRAFT COLLECTIVE aims to change this narrative by collaborating with these local independent artisans, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their extraordinary skills and artworks to an international audience.

"We believe that every artwork tells a story, and these stories deserve to be shared with the world and their work deserves recognition and support. Through our Kickstarter campaign, we aim to collaborate with the local independent artisans of Mogok, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their skill and preserve their cultural heritage."

By pledging support to this campaign, backers will not only contribute to the preservation of Mogok's cultural heritage but also help uplift the lives of local artisans. The funds raised will enable us to provide these artisans with the resources and opportunities they need to share their stories and artworks with an international audience.

"Our mission is to promote sustainable artisan businesses through fair trade and ensure that the craftsmanship and traditions of Mogok continue to thrive. Together, we can make a difference and build a better future for these local communities."
