MAY 19 OPENING of BLACK IS BLACK – a solo exhibition by Saphan
After the Black Is Black opening, Saphan was counting her blessings. It was such a vibrant night with so many Cambodian youth devouring every details of each art piece. Everything was analyzed under their sharp eyes. Saphan was able to do a press conference in Khmer with local journalists. So grateful to the US embassy team and Bophana staffs to made this event a success.
MAY 23-24 WORKSHOP: ART IS LONG, LIFE IS SHORT IN CAMBODIA
I have been invited by the US embassy to do a workshop at Phare Selpak art school in Battambang, Cambodia.
Phare Selpak is a wonderful school helping street kids to find a passion in the arts. They are most known for the circus school which had toured in Europe. They also have classical dance and music training as well as visual art school. Unfortunately the art school does not have much support nor help. Yet many of the new emerging young artists today come from that school.
Thank you to all the backers from Kickstarters.
