Principal speaker
Professor Renee Jeffery, International Relations, Griffith University.
At the end of the Khmer Rouge period, less than ten percent of Cambodia's artists, dancers, musicians, and film makers remained in Cambodia. Forty years on, however, the arts are experiencing an ongoing revival and have assumed a central role in the country's attempt to come to grips with its violent past.
This paper examines roles played by the arts in Cambodia's transitional justice process, from early grassroots arts and human rights activism to the reparations orders of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).
