Introduction(SEMINAR 'HOL', THE ART OF CAMBODIAN TEXTILE ) SEMINAR 'HOL', THE ART OF CAMBODIAN TEXTILE Organized by Institute for Khmer Traditional Textile and The Center for Khmer Studies Funded by Japan Foundation Asia Center Introduction The Institute for Khmer Traditional Textiles (IKTT) and the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) organized the first public Exhibition and Seminar project in Siem Reap, Cambodia, with the purpose of introducing to the general public (Cambodian and international) the Cambodian weaving and dyeing method characterized by the textile tradition of ‘Hol’ – or Cambodian Ikat, and its place in Cambodian history and culture. The exhibition / seminar project ‘Hol, the Art of Cambodian Textile; A Blending of Two Esthetics: The Khmer and Cham Senses’, took place from October 1, 2003 until December 15, 2003, at the Center for Khmer Studies Conference Hall located within the Buddhist Monastery of Vat Damnak, Siem Reap, Cambodia. Background and Aims of the Project: After thirty years of civil strife and decades of isolation, Cambodia is struggling to re-capture its cultural and artistic heritage while the rest of the world has had little awareness of this rich and fast disappearing heritage. This situation is particularly critical with regard to the traditional textile craft. In a country – and a city – which is rapidly changing, IKTT felt it needed to reach out to the Cambodian community in the form of a public event; a free and public exhibition with accompanying seminars. Cambodians are not always aware of the value and fragility of their cultural heritage, especially as the trends of commercialization now become a looming threat to this heritage. Moreover, with Siem Reap – Angkor becoming a focus for numerous tourists from all over the world because of its temples, we think it is equally important to raise awareness among visitors to link this ancient heritage with the culture of the living community of Cambodia today.

HOME FORUM CAMBODIA Update ... CONTACT Youthful Optimism Chey Chankethya, "Kov", age 16, at the School of Fine Arts, Phnom Penh, March 24, 2000 March 2000 It was a simple enough assignment - follow a student from Phnom Penh's School of Fine Arts around for the day with the purpose of writing a story, "A Day in the Life of an Apsara Dancer". A regular feature for Bangkok-based Traveller magazine, "A Day in the Life of..." exists to promote a cultural or social aspect of one of the Southeast Asian countries by detailing a typical day of someone involved in the particular activity. Classical Cambodian dance, like so much of traditional Khmer culture, was nearly destroyed under the Khmer Rouge. Dancers were executed en masse and all written records of the dance were annihilated as well. The Khmer Rouge had come within a hair width of destroying classical dance forever. However, a handful of dancers did survive the holocaust and with those dancers who were safely living overseas, the arduous restoration process began almost immediately following the downfall of the Khmer Rouge. The School of Fine Arts, located in the northern part of Phnom Penh, reopened in 1979 and the slow process of recovering the Cambodian culture began. The origins of Cambodian dance can be traced to the 9 th century. A generous amount of Indian influence added to a combination of Javanese and indigenous culture spawned the creation of Khmer classical dance. Throughout the height of the Angkor Empire dancers gave performances for the king under the full moon. Ancient kings were divine entities and as such the dancers were seen as messengers of the gods. Following the overthrow of Angkor in 1432 by the Siamese armies, a Thai influence permeated the Khmer dance adding to its already complicated nature. Tragically, due to the massive content of dance, not all could be recovered from what few written records escaped destruction or from the memories of the survivors of Pol Pot’s genocide.

Cambodia, Siem Reap Tonle Sap Lake The Tonle Sap Lake is one of the biggest freshwater lakes in the world reaching 12,000KM2 in the wet season and shrinking to 2500KM2 in the dry period. There are numerous boat trips available on the Tonle Sap catering for individual interests and time constraints. Most travel and tour operators will organise boat trips. Ask at your guesthouse or hotel for names and contact details. Recommended is Sampan Boat Tours run by Terre Combodge. It has a variety of well-organised half to ten day tours (tel: 012 84340 or e-mail: info@terrecambodge.com). Once on the lake, expect to see some Fish Farms (consisting of fish, waterfowl, souvenirs and drinks), a number of photographic floating fishing villages and the Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary. The Prek Toal in the Tonle Sap is home to 120 different species of birds (best time to visit is breeding season during January to June). Admission is $10-$20. Cambodian Cultural Village The second section is a wax museum which shows figures throughout the history of civilization in Cambodia. It begins with an Apsara dancer, a depiction of Jayavarman VII and an Angkorian era army general. The next room brings in figures of the 19th and early 20th centuries with depictions of ethnic hilltribes, entertainers from the 60s and the 90s, an ideal modern family, and an UNTAC soldier shown with his arm around a taxi girl (an exhibt that has caused some controversy!). The Cambodian Cultural Village has English-speaking guides, who, to the credit of the facility, do indeed speak excellent English (especially handy as there are no English captions underneath the exhibits explaining what they are and why their shown in such a way).

Cambodia Asia CULTURE At varying times, Cambodian culture also absorbed Javanese, Chinese, and Thai influences. Between the 9th and 15th centuries, a prosperous and powerful empire flourished in northwestern Cambodia. The Khmer kingdom of Angkor, named for its capital city, dominated much of what is now Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The kingdom drew its religious and political inspiration from India. The literary language of the court was Sanskrit; the spoken language was Khmer. Massive temples from this period, including Angkor Wat and the Bayon at Angkor Thum, testify to the power of Angkor and the grandeur of its architecture and decorative art. The unparalleled achievements in art, architecture, music, and dance during this period served as models for later cultural development in Cambodia.

SEARCH STORIES: Navigation September 19, 2005 Court Dance Comeback The Osgood File (CBS Radio Network): 8/28/02 Printer-friendly version E-mail this story to a friend Cambodian court dance, nearly eliminated by the Khmer Rouge, gets new life in the United States. In Long Beach, California, Sophiline Shapiro's classical court dance troupe, Danse Celeste, is beloved by the local population of 55,000 Cambodians who flock to the annual performance celebrating Cambodian New Year. For Cambodians, court dance represents a triumph of the human spirit over one of the worst tragedies in history: the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror over Cambodia from 1975-1979. Court dance and music almost vanished during the Khmer Rouge’s reign of fighting, famine and genocide, but artists managed to secretly keep it alive in refugee camps. Now, this ancient dance form is experiencing a revival in the United States. In their quest to create a Communist Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge eradicated traditional Cambodian culture, especially if related to the former royal court, by executing artists, intellectuals and educated professionals, destroying schools, temples and museums, and banning many Cambodian cultural traditions. Cambodian court dance is an intricate form that requires precise and specific postures and gestures, each with their own meaning. For instance, the bend of a finger, or the turning up of the toes, might represent a bud, a leaf or a flower, or even the concept of water and fertility. Even eye movements can be highly symbolic. The dance was believed to be a bridge between the natural and the spiritual worlds, facilitating communication between the kings, their ancestors, and the gods. Dancers wear elaborate golden headdresses, body paint and brightly colored silk garments.

Rehabilitation of Cambodian performing arts: The Cambodian cultural heritage is rich both in terms of variety and quality. Based on the limited documentation that is available, it appears that there are twenty-one forms of Cambodian performing arts comprising dance, music, theatre and circus. These disciplines were transmitted for generations from master to mentor by word of mouth. However, decades of civil war severely damaged the intangible heritage and caused a breakdown of social values. The Khmer Rouge regime, in particular, struck a terrible blow to this process of continuity. It is estimated that only 10% of dancers and actors could be traced after the collapse of the regime and that many of the dances and theatre forms were lost forever. A difficult process of documenting techniques and reviving lost forms started in the 1980s, but is has only been in the last years that the strands of an integrated cultural life have finally come together under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts. Cambodia has now the expertise to facilitate the re-building of performing arts, however, the major problem is that it does not have the means. Funding is essential to assist in the re-building process, and financial support has been received from a number of individuals, businesses, aid organisations and philanthropic foundations located in both Cambodia and abroad. Ultimately, however, only comprehensive government-sponsored training programs can ensure the longevity of Khmer Arts.

Culture WebQuest Introduction Professor Kittenger thanks you and your team for supporting this important mission. We all appreciate that you volunteered to prepare a briefing on Cambodian culture. Poor Prof. Edwards; he is still missing his diplomatic staff. This element of the mission is a bit less "fact oriented" than the other two parts. This mission really requires you to use your personal judgment and powers of observation. The Professor is counting on you to do a good job and has already expressed confidence in your team. First, he needs a summary of the cultural heritage of Cambodia. Then, he needs any observations you can offer about the people and their culture that will help him to plan for future growth. The Quest Your first task is to do your online research and note important observations about the culture, religion, and arts of Cambodia. You’ll find the research resources below. Some are not very easy to read; others are photographs or art of Cambodia. Second, you and your team will review your notes and figure out which observations are the most important. (Remember that Prof. Edwards is looking for a background summary plus anything to help him understand how to plan growth in the region.)

This is kind of a good thing when someone, in this case the owner of the Canadia Bank ("that's Hun Sen's bank - so it must be good," is what everybody tells me), has enough confidence in the domestic tourism market to sink a few million dollars into a project with the obvious expectation of turning a profit from it.

During the period of eighties thousands of Cambodian specialists were trained in the former USSR. The basis for training Cambodian scientific personnel destroyed during the genocidal regime of the Khmer Rouge was restored under the technical assistance of our country and several educational centres as well as technological and agricultural institutes were established. USSR scientists carried out large scale geological and exploration works and researches in the fields of plants selection, biology and environment protection. Positive results were achieved in humanitarian sphere. Soviet experts complied comprehensive Khmer-Russian dictionary, manual of Khmer grammar, conducted researches in Cambodian history, ethnography and literature as well as took part in restoration of the ancient temple complex Angkor.
