PHNOM PENH: In a quiet corner of Bak Prea village, nestled within the remote reaches of Cambodia's Ek Phnom district in Battambang province, a young student leans intently over her sketchpad. Her pencil glides with purpose, translating the world around her into lines and shapes on paper.
The scene, both simple and profound, is a testament to the power of art – a power that has found its way to this rural area through the visionary efforts of Poy Chhunly, founder of Chumnor Art and the driving force behind the "Art Journey to Remote Areas" programme.
