Krama

The Khmer krama is known for its gingham pattern and numerous color combinations. It is uniquely Khmer with exceptional versatility. The krama can be used and worn in many different ways. It has become ubiquitous with the Khmer people and a symbol of Cambodian pride.

Originally, the krama was a fabric that Khmer women wove themselves; our paternal grandmother was a krama weaver. They used to collect cotton ( samley) that was then spread before being soaked in rice for 2-3 days. Parts of the threads were tinged in red before starting the weaving process.

This piece of fabric has accompanied Khmers throughout their history, becoming a legacy for generations, and still being worn today as scarves, clothes, and more.

Did you know the Khmer Rouge wore red kramas as part of their attire and thus became synonymous with the Khmer Rouge era?

Houl (Silk Ikat)

Khmer Ikat, called houl in Khmer, has survived since the times of the Angkor era. This centuries-old tradition intertwines quality handicraft and Cambodia's unique natural environment. Colors used for dyes such as deep reds and indigos are derived from plants, insects, and specific wood materials.

Ikat is woven using a multi-shaft loom. It has an uneven twill, meaning the weft threads are more visible on the front side of the fabric. Ikat can be woven into a pidan - a wall hanging for religious ceremonies and purposes. They show various motifs, typically with Buddhist connotations such as temples, Apsaras, Buddha, elephants, lions, and Nagas.

Ikat textiles are worn by all genders. It has been said that weavers of the samput houl can have more than 200 motifs all memorized by hand. Because of its unique designs and weaving difficulties, it remains one of the most expensive and prized Cambodian textiles.

Houl Omboh (Cotton Ikat)

Cotton ikat is unique and is woven in various unique patterns. Post-war when sericulture came to a stall and silk became scarce, the Khmer people began weaving cotton using the same process and techniques as weaving houl (it perhaps was done before, but not to the extent that it seen today).

Cotton ikat is widely received and offers a more softer and versatile fabric. It is also more cost efficient to grow cotton than to produce silk. The cotton ikat is another way we see how Khmers have become truly resourceful and have ensured years of tradition and legacy to not be lost!

Houl weaving (both silk and cotton) can be found mainly in Takeo Province. With its quality and fine craftsmanship, it's become highly prized and has somewhat become a symbol for Cambodia.

This fabric is perfect for loose, casual styles and hot summer days.

Pahmoung

A silk textile that comes either in plain color, patterns (partial or all over), brocade, or both. It is woven using multi-colored silks (and sometimes mainly gold or silver for the pattern or brocade) to achieve the look rather than a patterned and dyed process like the ikat.

Pahmoung is popular with the young and old especially during special ceremonies or holidays. This textile is woven in Kompong Cham and Kandal province.

Though it uses less weaving techniques, it is just as luxurious and beautiful. If you're into old Khmer movies like we are, you'll notice that women in these films don all colors of pahmoung- even the plain colored ones, showcasing its beauty and natural silky shine.

Seung

Seung Khmer is underrated! It's cotton or cotton mix (typically with polyester or nylon) woven fabric that is not only beautiful, but durable too because of it's thickness! It's durability allows you to wear and wash it without losing its shape and texture.

It comes in a variety of colors and unique patterns that mimics those of pahmoung and even all-over patterned houl (called seung houl).You will see that we use a lot of this fabric in our designs. It is a perfect introductory fabric to those new or just learning about the various Khmer textiles. Moreover, we love its feel, robustness, and variety of colors/patterns.

Sarong (Printed Batik)

Don't we all love the colorful, floral designs of the sarong?! With its diverse use and patterns, some of our designs - such as tote bags, accessories, and other items - are made using this fabric.

Sarong is by far the most affordable textile in Cambodia and widely worn throughout the country, particularly among farmers and villagers. We're unsure of its exact origins and the Khmer patterns that were used, but we do know that they were produced in Phnom Penh before the war. Unfortunately, post-war, the sarong industry never recovered.

The sarongs found in the Cambodian markets today are imported from Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. If there are Khmer sarongs being produced today, then we have yet to find them.

Chorabap

If you've ever seen Khmer classical dancers (or been to a traditional Khmer wedding), they are always dressed in chorabap! Chorabap is a thick textile woven out of colored silk with gold or silver metallic threads. It has many all over patterns utilizing diagonal and intricate motifs. Its weaving techniques are complex and difficult, using more foot pedals than those for houl, and as such, it is typically only worn for very special occasions. We don't know if silk chorabap is still woven today as we've only come across cotton and cotton mix chorabap used for Khmer classical dancers and wedding attires.

Anloin

The anloin style is woven from cotton or silk and typically characterized by its vertical stripe patterns. Cotton anloin was typically worn in the home while silk anloin was mostly worn for important ceremonies and weddings. The signature stripes of the anloin style still remains popular today.

In the early 20th century, this type of textile was favored and woven throughout Battambang.

Brae

There are 4 different types of brae. For this we will talk about Khmer Brae (also known as brae leat) which generally did not have patterns and is woven out of silk that hasn't been boiled or dyed before weaving. Once the woven fabric is completed, it is then dyed black (preferred color at the time) and this type of brae was once woven in Kandal province.

With the influx of brae from Vietnam and China during the French Protectorate, there was a decline in Khmer brae and since then, brae weaving production has not been able to recover.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A project to document the plants of Cambodia. The floral diversity of Cambodia is poorly known due to its recent and tragic history of conflict. According to the Cambodian Forestry Administration there are over 4,500 species of vascular plants reported from the country (https://www.cbd.int/doc/world/kh/kh-nr-05-en.pdf). New species of plants and animals are regularly discovered in all parts of the country illustrating our lack of knowledge. Many of the reported plant species have no photographs publicly available and taxonomic keys and species descriptions are scattered. This severely hinders the ability of citizen scientists from contributing to the process of discovery. Given the urgent threats of climate change and habitat loss it is now more urgent than ever that scientists and citizen scientists cooperate to gather baseline information on Cambodia's biodiversity which is crtical for informing conservation decisions before it is too late. This project aims to remedy this problem…

Andy Warhol took what we thought we knew about art and turned it on its head. His work makes us ask questions like:

In the 1960s Andy Warhol became known as one of the leading artists of the pop art movement.

Pop artists felt that art should reflect modern life and so they made art inspired by the world around them - from movies, advertising and pop music to comic books and even product packaging.

Design your own soup can

Warhol was famous for exploring everyday and familiar objects in his work, using brands such as Coca-Cola, Brillo and Campbell's Soup.

He liked the idea of taking ordinary things, for example cereal or bananas, and turning them into art.

He did this with his famous print of a tomato soup can. He also made a print of every type of soup that Campbell's made! Including the one above, Black Bean.

Have a go at designing your own! It can be a real soup flavour or an imaginary one!

things to think about

What ingredients will go in your soup? How does it taste?

What will it be called?

Should the can be bright and bold or cool and dark?

How would it look in the supermarket?

Have a look below at some of the other pop art food and drink that Warhol created.

Warhol was very ill as a child, so he spent lots of time in bed. To cheer himself up he read comics and magazines about his favourite characters and movie stars.

One of his most famous screenprints is of the Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe. He made lots of prints of her in different colours including this one called Marilyn Diptych. A diptych is when two canvases side by side are part of the same artwork.

Make a selfie artwork

Have a go at making your own artwork like Warhol's. You can be the celebrity!

You will need:

a smartphone or a digital camera

a printer

6 coloured pens or pencils

paper

How do you look in each selfie now? Which do you like best?

CHAN Dany (born in 1984 in Prey Veng province) lives and works in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He studied art at Reyum Art School and Workshop from 2002-2007. His contemporary works employ a flexible knowledge of Kbach Rachana or Khmer decorative forms - an ancient code of organic shapes and patterns applied in different styles and his delicate work made with pencil shavings, which from a distance appear to be embroidery.

Below you can find a complete list of Cambodian animals. We currently track 147 animals in Cambodia and are adding more every day!

Cambodia is a country of immense biodiversity and lush forests. Sitting at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, it shares land borders with Laos to the north, Thailand to the north/west, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. The landscape is comprised of low-lying forests and plains surrounded by elevated hills and mountains, including the largest range, the Cardamom Mountains. The mighty Mekong River cuts through the middle of the country and merges with the sea just to the south in Vietnam. The Tonle Sap, which connects to the Mekong through the Tonle Sap River, is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the richest sources of freshwater fish in the world.

The Official National (State) Animal of Cambodia

Cambodia's major national symbols are the kouprey, the giant ibis, the northern river terrapin, and the giant barb.

Where to Find the Top Wild Animals in Cambodia

Cambodia is home to seven national parks and dozens more wildlife sanctuaries and protected areas.

The Botum Sakor National Park, located in the country's south, near the Gulf of Thailand, is the largest protected area in the country. It encompasses a peninsula of verdant grasslands, woodlands, swamps, and mangroves directly next to the Cardamom Mountains. Primates, pangolins, wild cats, deer, otters, and many other mammals can be found here. Another biodiversity hotspot, the Kirirom National Park, is located directly to the east as well.

The Virachey National Park (classified as an ASEAN Heritage Park) and the Lomphat Wildlife Sanctuary encompass the dense, isolated jungles and mountain forests of the country's northeast. This entire region is home to some of the richest biodiversity in Cambodia, including leopards, sun bears, dholes, muntjacs, peafowls, storks, ibises, hornbills, and other rare mammals and birds.

The Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, comprised of lowland forests and swamps in the north, near the border with Thailand, was originally set aside to protect the kouprey. It's also home to the endangered giant ibis and other unique birds.

Other important protected areas include the Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary, the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Mondulkiri Protected Forest and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Most Dangerous Animals in Cambodia Today

Cambodia is home to about 17 different types of venomous snakes and several large carnivores.

King Cobra - As the world's largest venomous snake, the king cobra is an intimidating and scary sight. Symptoms of its bite can include severe pain, vertigo, blurred vision, and paralysis. Fatality rates are generally higher than most other cobra species. Fortunately, the king cobra will attempt to avoid confrontation with humans before striking.

Blue Krait - Sporting thick black and white bands, the blue krait is sometimes found around rice paddies and bamboo groves. As one of the most dangerous snakes, its highly potent venom may eventually cause respiratory failure in an alarming number of victims.

Banded Krait - Featuring black and yellow bands, the banded krait can deliver a serious bite that results in vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhea. If left untreated, death can occur in 1% to 10% of cases due to respiratory failure.

Endangered Animals in Cambodia

Since the 20th century, Cambodian wildlife has been endangered by habitat destruction, unregulated hunting, and frequent warfare.

Indian Elephant - A subspecies of the Asian elephant, these mammals roam the grasslands and forests of India and Southeast Asia. They have become endangered from habitat loss and increased conflict with humans.

Indochinese Tiger - This subspecies of the tiger has lost significant ground over the centuries from poaching and habitat loss. It might already be extinct in Cambodia.

Pangolin - The pangolin (also known as the scaly anteater) is the only kind of mammal with a full set of scales. Cambodia is home to the critically endangered Sunda pangolin.

Slow Loris - The slow loris is a group of nocturnal tree-climbing primates. Cambodia has two species of loris, the Bengal slow loris, and pygmy slow loris, both of them endangered.

Langur - Two types of this unique Old World monkey, Germain's langur, and the Annamese langur, are endangered.

Douc - A colorful arboreal monkey, both the red-shanked douc and black-shanked douc are in danger of becoming extinct.

Kouprey - The kouprey is a wild forest-dwelling bovid that has dwindled rapidly from diseases and overhunting. Less than 250 are estimated to exist, and it may already be extinct in the wild.

Eld's Deer - The Thai brown-antlered deer, a unique subspecies of Eld's deer, is endemic to Southeast Asia. But habitat loss and overhunting for traditional medicine have made it endangered.

Giant Ibis - This long-legged wading bird inhabits marshes, lakes, swamps, rivers, and flooded areas. But the loss of its natural habitat has put it in danger of extinction.

Siamese Crocodile - Growing up to 10 feet long (the largest ever specimen was 13 feet), this is the rarest species of crocodile in the world.

Northern River Terrapin - Among the largest freshwater turtles of Asia, this species has become critically endangered from overexploitation.

Giant Barb - Native to the Mekong River, this is the largest species of carp in the world. Habitat loss and overfishing have made them critically endangered.
