Battambang Imagined: The Art of Building Tomorrow

We produced a documentary on the collaborative venture between Phare Ponleu Selpak, the Metis Fund and France’s Development Agency, which stands as an example of harnessing art to spark discussions on sustainable development. “Art is a generator of emotions, with the unique power to create links and engage all generations in discussion,” says AFD country director Sandrine Boucher. Battambang artists and Phare students joined hands to create works that speak to the challenges and opportunities intertwined with AFD’s areas of focus: the equal access to water, electricity and education.

With over a thousand participants at Samdech Kralahom Sar Kheng Park in October 2023, “Battambang Imagined” translated their artistic visions into tangible steps towards the sustainable future of the Province.
