Exhibition Opening: "Nine Faces"
@ New Meta House - Cambodian German Cultural Center
#37 Sothearos Blvd. opposite of Buildbright / Phnom Penh centre
Tuesday Sep. 21, 18:00
A five days experimental workshop run by Arts facilitator Darren Swallow and using techniques borrowed from Art Therapy, Drama, Improvisation, Movement and Poetry took 9 artists from Battambang into a deep exploration of aspects of the self, feelings, memory and place.
The inspiration and insights gained were then used by Khchao Touch, Phin Sophorn, Poi Chhunly, Koeurm Kolab, Loerm Lorn, Mao Soviet, Sou Sophy and Kou Sothea (teachers/graduates of Phare Ponleu Selpak) to create his or her own art work and short films including topics like recent Khmer history and colonial aspirations, explorations of past personal history, trauma and love.
