catching up

This flurry of postings is intended to give readers an idea of what this project is about, but there is much more to come between now and December.

Next week, five of the artists will visit one of Cambodia's most mine-affected provinces, Battambang, to witness first-hand how Cambodia is addressing the landmine problem.

The following week, five more artists will head to another one of Cambodia's most mine-affected provinces, Banteay Meanchey, to visit a wide range of mine action activities, including clearance, survivor assistance, and mine risk education, among others. A film crew will follow us to document the process.

We plan to work with young landmine survivors to give them the opportunity to create art as well.

We'll regularly post information about the artists, field visits, and other other exciting news (along with pictures) over the next few months, so come back often to see what we're up to.

Also, this is meant to be an inclusive project, so if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, or are interested in becoming involved in the project, please feel free to drop a line.
