THU 28 | Journalists Nicolas Axelrod and Denise Hruby’s long-awaited photo book will be officially launched at Meta House this Thursday. Transitioning Cambodia is the first photo book to showcase Cambodia’s rapidly transitioning society and landscape. The compelling pictures and text juxtapose Phnom Penh’s developing city (with a growing wealthy minority) against its resulting land evictions and displaced communities. The presentation by the book’s creators is bound to be equal parts eye-opening and disquieting. For a taste of what to expect, read our cover story on page 6.
