Visions of Angkor: Discussion on Community Engagement and the Arts in Post-Conflict Settings
This panel develops from the concert we have arranged to showcase the creative practices of Cambodian and Cambodian-American artists and will feature arts practitioners, community leaders, secondary school teachers, and scholars who will discuss their wide-ranging experiences practicing, teaching, and advocating for Cambodian arts in varied contexts. Exploring issues of memory, heritage, and the arts in post-conflict societies and among people living in diaspora, we first aim to highlight the voices and experiences of Cambodian people who have historically been silenced and marginalized by war, genocide, and economic hardship. We then seek to understand how the policies and priorities of institutions such as schools, universities, nonprofit organizations, the government, and granting agencies interact in the development of Cambodian arts sectors in Cambodia and in diaspora.
