CPA 系列讲座 | 探寻边境孩童的梦想：柬埔寨第二难民营中的儿童绘画展对柬埔寨当代艺术的影响宣传片
Marking the first of a series of events related to “Second Assembly: Exhibiton-Making Practice in China and Southeast Asia in the 1990s” a curatorial project jointly curated by Biljana Ciric and the museum, RAM is delighted to invite Phnom Penh-based curator and writer Erin Gleeson to discuss and present excerpts from the 1992 documentary film ‘Between Shadow and Light’. The film focuses on the experiences of Veronique Monique Decrop, a French humanitarian volunteer who opened a drawing school for children in a Cambodian refugee camp named ‘Site 2’. Erin Gleeson will screen excerpts from the film in order to draw awareness to its human impact during that period of time, but also to explore how this art education and exhibition making project still has influence in Cambodia today.
