She joined in the Stiev Selapak meeting and observe the graffiti workshop. It is so positive for the Khmer artists to meet Anoli who shared with us the difficulties encountered in Sri Lanka which are the same here in Cambodia. The Stiev Selapak also will take her around town on an art tour.

Thursday 18th of October
The opening night was a success for all. It was a huge crowd that kept on coming and going all evening... So many people responded in a very positive way to the exhibition. Many were moved and felt related to the theme of the exhibition which were very coherent as a whole. Théo did a performance, graffiti on a wall and some even participated. All the artists sold that night. First time I ever saw an artist sold out: congratulation Théo!
