Ly Daravuth talks about the definition, development, and status of contemporary art practice in Cambodia, initially tracing its roots back to mid-century cultural production through reference to "Cultures of Independence: An Introduction to Arts and Culture of the ’50s and ’60s," an 2002 exhibition that he curated with Ingrid Muan. He then discusses works by Vandy Rattana and Sopheap Pich alongside a variety of other recent works from Cambodia, by artists including Prum Sam An and Vann Nath. [April 18, 2013 symposium]
