Their traditions are different, but they share similarities that are closely linked in traditional stories, types of dance and theater. Both nations have faced political situations that created difficulty for art forms to survive. Through exchanges with Indonesian artists, dance and theater organizations, I hoped to bring key aspects of their success and apply them to Cambodia’s context. I examined the models of arts management, management of art space and the government’s role in supporting artistic expression. I wanted to live among artists to see how their lives might be different or similar to the lives of struggling artists in my homeland. I lived with artists to witness what they believed to be their most important and serious concerns as living artists. This experience helped me see the complex issues related to how individual artists, arts organizations and government agencies must see the arts as a valuable treasure for the whole nation and work together in making the arts grow. This value, when seen on a larger scale, makes civil society stronger and can help nations build their own identity and national harmony based on connected communities through arts.
