There'll be a double dose of Arts and culture this Saturday evening

Hello all,

There'll be a double dose of Arts and culture this Saturday evening...

Firstly Sammaki (87, St 2.5) will be showing shortlisted entries for the Artists for Human Rights and Action, "Visulaising Human Rights 2012 Art competition...

This is an International competition (there is a concurrent exhibition running in Melbourne) and artists were asked to interpret articles 3 and 4 of the UN Convention on Human rights, "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person" and "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."

So join us at Sammaki from 5pm until 6:30 to see how local Battambang artists interpreted these articles.

The exhibition will run for a month.

THEN!

After dropping by Sammaki, from 6pm, Make Maek (66, St 2.5) will present:

" Cambodia, News I remember"

The first Cambodians visited Paris in 1860, Angkor Wat was at the center of the Colonial Exhibition and the "Petit Journal" (published daily in Paris from 1863 to 1944) showed photos of the newly re discovered temples on its front page.

Mathieu Damperon, a Battambang resident for several years, has collected unique examples of these magazines, articles and 150 year old photographs published in the French daily press...

See you all on Saturday!

Phnom Sampov

Phnom Sampoue is a natural resort located along the National Road No 57 at Sam Pouy Commune, approximately 12- kilometers from the province town of Battambang. On top of this mountain are three temple sites and 3 natural water wells, namely Pkar Slar, Lo Khoun, Ak So Pheak. Also, next to Sam Pouy mountain, there are other main mountains sites like Phnom Trung Moan, Phnom Trung Tea, Phnom Neang Rum Say Sork. These mountains are related to the folk legend of Reach Kol Neang Run Say Sork. I have been to this place once and it is a nice place to visit. What I really liked was the little monkeys that don't seem to be afraid of those passing by.

This Former Gang-Banger Is Banging Out Delicious Cubans in Cambodia

S ix years ago, Ry Mam boarded an international flight from LAX with three other Cambodians and two US marshals. “If any of you try to run, we’ll shoot you,” one of the marshals told the Cambodians. Mam thought that was strange—they were on an airplane and, anyway, he could have run a long time ago.
