Cambodia Then and Now is a new exhibition of visual arts at gallery@oxo, Oxo Tower Wharf, celebrating 70 tumultuous years of Cambodian independence, and exploring the role of the arts in healing generational trauma, building national identity, and bringing communities together.

The exhibition features multiple mediums including photography, illustration, graphic design and more to reflect on the country’s eventful and troubled past, and its dynamic but contested future. Through period exhibits and new works never before displayed in the UK, the exhibition features both Cambodian and international artists to tell the story of the “Kingdom of Wonder”, from independence in 1953 to the present day.
