About
Founded by John Hanshaw, CONVERGE is inspired by the simple belief that great things can happen when people, ideas, and resources come together in the same space.
Our mission is to convene individuals, groups, and organizations from a wide variety of fields —business, science, technology, and the arts—to spark synergies, create new conceptual frameworks, and strengthen communities.

Still Here: Myanmar in Photographs
More than four years after Myanmar's 2021 coup, the country remains mired in conflict and uncertainty. The military regime faces serious battlefield losses yet is moving ahead with elections that lack credibility and risk further violence. At the same time, shifting geopolitical dynamics are prompting renewed engagement with Naypyitaw, even as humanitarian needs grow.
"Still Here" shifts the lens towards those affected by the post-coup crisis, focusing on daily life and routine moments that have endured or changed under the weight of the upheaval.
Developed by the International Crisis Group and FCCT in collaboration with independent Myanmar media outlets and journalists, the exhibit reflects the ongoing work of Myanmar's independent press, who despite having been systematically targeted by the military junta since the coup, continue to grow and develop in exile, working tirelessly to document life inside Myanmar.
Each photograph is available for sale, with all proceeds going to the contributing Myanmar journalist or media outlet.
Please note: although we will enjoy the benefits of their curation efforts, this is not an International Crisis Group event.
FCCT Bar and Restaurant will be open.
