    Event Details

    A photographic exhibition that explores how Cambodia, one of the countries with the largest number of anti-personnel mines, is looking to a more peaceful future

    to

    Award-winning Spanish photographer Gervasio Sánchez has taken a series of images of Cambodia that, accompanied by documentaries filmed by Oriol Gispert, aim to give the viewer a detailed understanding of the lives of those who live in the south-east Asian country. Although the nation has suffered through many years of war and is still one of the worst affected by anti-personnel mines (they cover 40 percent of the country), this exhibition aims to show the day-to-day reality of the Cambodian people beyond the negative images that are more likely to be portrayed here in the West, although it doesn't avoid the terrifying affects that mines have had on the population there.
