SEASON OF CAMBODIA TAKES OVER NEW YORK CITY
During the Spring of 2013, more than 125 Cambodian performers, filmmakers and visual artists lit up New York City’s stages, screens, galleries and public spaces – sharing their distinctive artistry with an international audience.
This unprecedented festival, a special initiative of Cambodian Living Arts, was the result of remarkable partnerships: Cambodia’s leading artists and arts organizations in collaboration with 34 of New York’s dynamic cultural and academic institutions. Season of Cambodia is a testament to the vibrant artists of a country that, with indefatigable passion and commitment, show how the arts can help to revive and transform a post-conflict society.
