Experience the Phnom Penh art scene

Phnom Penh is a culturally rich city in which artists of many disciplines and nationalities live. This series of events introduces the city’s diverse scene through exhibits of various artists’ work and screenings of locally shot films, along with talks with Japanese artists and more. In this way, the program encourages audiences to consider the contrasting “fields” of Phnom Penh and Tokyo in the context of art as well as, more broadly, their cultural and social differences.
