SUMMARY:Open for Application Junior Resident Fellows Program in Siem Reap\, Cambodia (For Cambodian\, French and American Citizens)
DESCRIPTION:Registration: 28 February 2019 \nIntroduction \nThe Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) is offering 5 American\, 5 Cambodian and 5 French undergraduate students and recent graduates an exciting opportunity to join a 6 week (July 1 st-August 9 th \, 2019) Junior Resident Fellows Program in Cambodia. The program provides a unique experience\, allowing students to live and study alongside others from different backgrounds and cultures\, while learning about the history and society of today’s Cambodia. During their residency\, students will be based at the CKS campus in Siem Reap\, which is situated in the beautiful grounds of Wat Damnak\, one of the town’s major Buddhist pagodas\, only minutes away from the famous Angkor\, World Heritage Site with its enigmatic temples. Fellows will also spend time in Cambodia’s capital city\, Phnom Penh. \nWho is eligible for this program?  \n\nCitizens of one of the above 3 nationalities\nUndergraduates or recent Baccalaureate degree (from Year 2 of Bac)\nGood level of English in reading\, speaking and writing\n\nWhat to Expect? \nCKS has been running the Junior Resident Fellows Program in Cambodia since 2004 to enthusiastic reviews. The program is intended for individuals who have a genuine interest in Cambodia and Southeast Asia\, who may be considering graduate studies or careers involving the region. With this in mind\, the focus is on striking a balance between academic rigor and extra-curricular activities\, including field visits designed to give students a better understanding of contemporary Cambodia. Cambodian history and culture cannot be fully understood without considering the influence of powerful regional neighbors such as Thailand\, Vietnam and China or international powers\, like France\, the United States\, and more recently the United Nations. The program will\, therefore\, also focus on Cambodia’s past and present relationships with its neighbors and its place within the region. \nHow is the Program Structured? \nThe program is led by a qualified instructor who has extensive teaching and research experience in Cambodian and Southeast Asian Studies. It is structured around interactive classroom sessions from Monday-Friday (2 hours daily). The course begins by briefly covering Cambodia’s ancient past\, before examining major social\, political\, economic and cultural change since the country gained independence from France in the early 1950s. Particular attention is given to how Cambodia has come to terms with the horrors of its more recent post-Khmer Rouge past\, and the ways it is re-engaging with regional and international communities. Outside the classroom\, fellows participate in field trips\, including visits to historical and cultural sites\, and interact with organizations in and around Siem Reap working in development\, education\, democracy promotion\, human rights and journalism. \nLanguage: The language of instruction is English. All fellows are expected to have sufficient\nEnglish language skills to be able to participate in classroom discussions. The American and French fellows will receive daily instruction in the Khmer Language\, and the Cambodian fellows will attend English- language reading\, writing and speaking skills seminars. \nCost:  CKS covers the costs of tuition\, accommodations (bed and breakfast)\, local\ntransportation while taking part in program activities\, books and study materials\, and some field trip expenses such as entrance fees to historical and cultural sites. CKS also has small program grants\, of between $600 – $800\, to help with international air fares\, visas\, and medical insurance. All other living and personal expenses will be incurred by the individual fellows. \nProgram Requirements:  \nFellows are required to attend all classes\, all field trips\, and to participate in classroom\ndiscussions. They will also work on a short paper (10-15 pages) on a related topic of their\nchoice\, which they will present at the end of the program (10-15 minutes). This might be from the fields of archaeology\, anthropology\, economics\, linguistics\, politics\, history\, environment\, urban development or sociology. \nDownload Application Form: \n\nUS Application form\nFrench Application form\nCambodian Application form\n\nFor further information or to submit an application\, please email\, CKS Summer Junior\nFellows Program\, Tith Sreypich\, at juniorfellowships@khmerstudies.org or write to PO Box 9380 – Wat Damnak Siem Reap\, Cambodia. \nFor Frequently Asked Questions on the Junior Resident Fellows Program CLICK HERE \nFor the Previous Syllabus and Reading Material Click Here \nSource: http://www.khmerstudies.org/research-training/open-for-application-junior-resident-fellows-program-in-siem-reap-cambodia?fbclid=IwAR272Ynzt1nXapKD49Ojm8XfwIpSiCmQF65ufi3FHSI30yhFvQDQnM5ubRY \n

SUMMARY:Workshop on Silk-Screen Printing Created from Ayutthaya Stencil Patterns by Kwanpoom Vilaival
DESCRIPTION:On August 2017\, SEA Junction held a well-attended workshop by former stylist and Thai art designer Kwanpoom Vilaival on silk-screen printing created from Ayutthaya Stencil patterns. On 23 February 2019 at 1.30PM there will be another occasion for both adolescents and adults\, to learn how to apply the traditional motifs of the late Ayutthaya period to modern cotton products\, in this case lunch bags.  This is the start of a long-term collaboration with the artist consisting of bi-monthly workshops to explore Thai culture and realities through painting and other visual arts. \nAccording to the description by the Thai Tourism Authority: “Wat Yai Suwannaram Temple\, featuring a windowless main shrine hall\, houses magnificent 300-year-old murals of mythical angels. Its Sala Kanprian (multi-purpose hall)\, which was once located in Ayutthaya’s Grand Palace\, was entirely built of teakwood and decorated with fine woodwork especially at the door panels. There is also a preaching throne with magnificently elaborated Bangkok style woodcarvings and gold gilt works”. Here is where the most interesting collection of stencil patterns done with paper-block printing can be found in Thailand. This technique is common among artisans all over the world and it has been used thousand years ago in China and at least half a millennium ago in Japan. The temple’s vigorous patterns remain a source of creativity to these days and continue to inspire new designs based on them. During the workshop\, Kwanpoom Vilaival will share some of these designs and participants will learn how to apply them using silk-screen block printing\, a technique that is very close to the traditional paper-block printing\, but more practical and neat. \nParticipants will learn about paper-block printing and silk-screen printing as well as about traditional ornaments and contemporary adaptations and will practice using them on cotton lunch bag (somewhat larger than pursue bags).  Participants can also bring T-shirts and other material after checking in advance whether is feasible. \nThe cost for the workshop is TBH 600 including materials. Please note that if participants want to do more than one design additional costs for the teacher will be reckoned.

He founded Artizaan Press and has edited more than 10 books\, and 100 pieces of publication including\, academic journals\, chart books\, scrapbooks and greeting cards from the work of famous Thai artists. His design work is both for commercial and non-profit aims including for supporting HIV patients from the Thai Red Cross\, and for Bangkok National Museum\, and Museum Siam. He gives workshops on silk-screen printing on cotton using gold stencil patterns inspired by Wat Yai Suwannaram temple. In his design work\, the dominant color is the ‘Indian Red’ from soil pigment\, which has been used since prehistoric times in Petchaburi province\, including in the temple. He has also written and printed books in Thai about the temple’s designs that are available at SEA Junction. \n \nFor information/reservation please email southeastasiajunction@gmail.com or phone/wa: 0970024140 \nOrganizer: \nSEA Junction\, OUR Venue to Connect on Southeast Asia (see https://seajunction.org) SEA Junction aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions –from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.
