Join Indigo Arts Alliance and Khmer Maine as we host a special in-person film screening of the documentary Yary Livan: Khmer Traditional Ceramic Artist. This film centers around Master Yary Livan, one of three remaning traditional Khmer ceramists in the world, and his mission to preserve the dying art form through community engagement and education. This event will feature a small reception, ceramic art auction, and a live talkback following the screening with Master Livan and filmmaker, Vibol S. Sungkriem, moderated by Khmer Maine President Marpheen Chann. All proceeds from the art auction will go to support Khmer Maine and Indigo Arts Alliance.
Indigo Picks is an ongoing Indigo Arts Alliance series showcasing the visibility and representation that can be brought to life through films. The selected films focuses on stories that further expand our knowledge and understanding of art history, social movements, the untold stories, and timely messages. These films shed a light that guides us in the future.
