Toni Shapiro-Phim

グラント

To research the experiences of women artists displaced from Myanmar and residing in Thailand. Shapiro-Phim will explore the lives of these displaced artists—how they express their reality, confront challenges, imagine alternative realities, and experience joy. She will visit centers, schools, and organizations established by and for people from Myanmar, especially those relevant to women artists, and seek opportunities to conduct interviews and observe classes, workshops, discussions, and artistic production. Shapiro also hopes to share her own works that relate to artists from Liberian and Cambodian refugee communities and stimulate conversations on creativity amidst great adversity.

To study and document Cambodian performing arts events during the annual Festival of the Waters in Phnom Penh in November 1992.
