A drawn conversation with Sao Sreymao, an international artist based in Phnom Penh and Battambang.
Sreymao graduated from Phare Ponleu Selpak’s School of Visual and Applied Arts in Battambang. Her multidisciplinary practice includes painting, comics, photography, digital drawing, sculpture, and performance. Personal expression and memory are explored in her work, as well as the changing physical and psychological landscapes of Cambodian urban and rural communities. She is part of the collective tiSamjort and recently opened a new studio where local and international artists can undertake residencies.
