For upwards of three years we’ve been entertained by Erik Davis’ insights on Cambodian culture, society, and religion – often peppered with his personal perspective on modern day happenings to boot.
But he’s getting out while he’s still at the top of his game.
Read it for yourself; there’s more writing to come but in different forms: journal articles, books and other media. Death; evolution.

Curious to see some of the folks cited in the recent New York Times article on photography in Cambodia?
THURSDAY 2 July 6 PM we celebrate the EXHIBITION OPENING of “GLOBAL HYBRID”.
Cambodian contemporary artists Ouer Sokuntevy (above), Chhan Nawath, Riem Em, Leang Seckon, Pich Sopheap, Kong Vollak, Meas Sokorn meet counterparts from the diaspora (Tom Tor, Sayon Syprasoeuth, Ratha Hanh) as well as US based artists Stephane Janin (France) and Denise Scott. They explore, from their own point of view, how to define their GLOBAL HYBRID position beyond two cultures in this group show. The
exhibition is curated by Denise Scott and Lydia Parusol.
And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out Bophana Centre’s current Building Exhibition!

Saw this iconic image above when driving down Monivong Boulevard, and whipped out my trusty phonecam.
Which led to the development of this spoof ad: ‘Proh Kouch’ deodorant. Why?
‘Cause if we’re gonna dole out embarrassment, guys could do to improve their hygiene too.
