“Art for Peace” in Cambodia

Last month, we received this message from our colleague, Suyheang Kry, Executive Director of Women Peace Makers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I am writing to share with you our newly produced video entitled “Art for Peace” which showcases workshop and the exhibition of “Hear, Listen. Look, See. Touch, Feel.” that we held in collaboration with our friends at Japan-based Peace Mask Project last year. It was an extraordinary chance for us to bring our local Facilitative Listening Design (FLD) approach together with art to explore synergies and opportunities.

Through this work, we have learnt a great deal of how to bring art into our own design practices and it has inspired much more. And this year, WPM will be incorporating different community art approaches into several of its FLD projects.

And once again, on behalf of everyone at WPM, I’d like to thank you and Pangea Giving so much for your continuous contribution and support to WPM. This work could not have been achieved without your generous support. Our heartfelt thanks from WPM and we are so thrilled to continue to learn and bring new and innovation approaches again in the near future so as to contribute to addressing pressing community issues.

Warmest Regards from Cambodia!
