Cambodian Living Arts

In the years between 1975 and 79, the Khmer Rouge executed at least 2 million Cambodians. Among the dead were 90% percent of Cambodia’s artists, who were specifically targeted. Cambodian Living Arts was founded by Arn Chorn-Pond who returned to Cambodia on a mission to rebuild his family’s artistic legacy.

An absolute must if you are in Phnom Penh. An amazing show of Cambodian dance and storytelling which would have been lost forever without Arn bringing CLA to life. A few of my shots travelling with a camera from the amazing show. Read more on the great work CLA do here do by clicking here.
