Art from old weapons in Cambodia

By at 1:24 pm Sunday, Dec 26

Organizers of Peace Art Project Cambodia describe their venture's three main goals:
"Introducing Young Cambodian Artists to new artistic methodology and materials and training them in metalwork skills, producing, exhibiting and selling sculpture made from de-commissioned weapons & promoting a Weapon-Free Society and Young Cambodian Artists in Cambodia and internationally... These sculptures are political art at its most powerful - relics of a violent past transformed into expressions of hope for a more peaceful future."
