Photo Exhibition “Cambodia: War and Beauty”

By SEA Junction and Ophidian

Cambodia is often depicted in the public imagination as either the land of Angkor and Apsaras or the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge. However, Cambodia is more than death and decoration. It is people who have struggled and survived war and atrocities, displacement, and political and social chaos, all the while working to preserve their culture. That culture now faces the new threat of unconstrained overdevelopment.
 
This is the focus of the photo exhibition “Cambodia: War and Beauty”, organized by SEA Junction and Ophidian. This photographic retrospective, exhibited previously in FCC Angkor by Avani and Meta House in Phnom Penh in 2020 and Paris in 2022, presents a collection of photos taken by David A. Feingold, a research anthropologist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker, over the last six decades in Cambodia. While fostering a better understanding and appreciation of Cambodia’s history, culture, and society, the exhibition aims to showcase the contradictory and complementary elements of Cambodian culture in a historical context.
