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!
