Cambodian exhibition

This week saw all of the panels and the accompanying booklet for the Cambodian exhibition complete in terms of the English language typesetting. Tomorrow the translator, printer and a Cambodian designer will meet to start work on all of the Khmer typesetting (nice to have such a team in place!). Once they have set all of the type in Khmer, I will take a look and see if the English needs to be reset in anyway, so that they look beautiful together. Below is a work-in-progress. It's the booklet that accompanies the exhibition, and will be given to people attending the workshops run by the Cambodian organisation Youth for Peace and PROOF: Media for Social Justice.


On another note, one of the Cambodians just new to the exhibition is actually an old friend of mine, Aki Ra. Its wonderful to have him and his story join all of the other amazing people who tell their stories. A huge thank you to Aki Ra and Bill Morse, who helps him run his Landmine Museum in Siem Reap, and also to Nicolas Axelrod, who braved the floods to photograph him. It's a truly wonderful photograph.
