Rong Cheang

Rong Cheang is a new community art studio initiated by Sa Sa Art Projects as part of Sa Sa’s participation in documenta15 in Kassel, Germany, 2022. It is a space for the Cambodian visual art communities to experiment and develop their practices by having free access to a shared studio. As a pilot project to respond to the informed needs of the artists in Phnom Penh, the space is available for one year, from July 2022 to June 2023.

Alongside this shared studio function, Rong Cheang also hosts a series of workshops led by renowned Cambodian and international artists and practitioners. The workshops aim to 1) inspire young artists to develop their worlds and visions through exchange and 2) learn some tips and philosophical and technical aspects in the mediums and practices specialised by the senior artists.

Confirmed artists and specialists who lead the workshops include BOLOHO (China), Mit Jai Inn (Thailand), Leang Seckon (Cambodia), Nha San Collective (Vietnam), Siddharta Perez (Philippines-Singapore), Sopheap Pich (Cambodia), farid rakun of ruangrupa (Indonesia), Serrum (Indonesia), Jakkai Siributr (Thailand), and Zen Teh (Singapore). Schedule and registration will be announced soon on our Rong Cheang’s facebook page.

Rong Cheang is generously sponsored by Mok Rotha and supported by documenta15.
