Albermarle Project Space and Sa Sa Art Projects present All That Surrounds Us, an exhibition featuring works by contemporary Cambodian artists that explore their country’s complex history, future and place in the broader community of southeast Asia. 

Including work by 12 younger and mid-career artists, this exhibition showcases new art from Cambodia to Australian audiences and provides the opportunity to learn more about the country through its art. The exhibition includes works in many media – painting, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, photography, installation, video and works on paper – and from across various parts of the country.

Collectively the artists explore pertinent themes in a post-Khmer Rouge Cambodia. The more established artists examine the profound difficulties of rebuilding a society scarred by intergenerational trauma and the remarkable resilience of those involved. The younger artists unpack issues related to corruption, urban development, a growing urban/rural divide and ecological decline. Together, this new generation of artists raise critical questions around the future of Cambodia and its place in the region.
