PHNOM PENH: As the climate crisis continues to worsen, a group of local and international artists gather together to showcase their work and call for action.

#PrayForPrey is an environmental art exhibition that showcases the work of artists, photographers, NGO workers, students, indigenous community representatives, and journalists. It is part of the larger #ShowMeYourTree campaign by the Pulitzer Center, and follows in the footsteps of the November 2021 #OurRootsOurForest exhibition held at the Bangkok Arts and Cultural Center.

Using art and information, the #PrayForPrey campaign hopes to engage audiences on the global climate and biodiversity crisis and highlight the work that is being done to prevent the crisis from continuing.

According to Global Forest Watch, Cambodia has lost 20% of its tree cover in the past two decades. The #PrayForPrey exhibition displays untouched nature, the present clash of modernity and urban development, and solutions for the future, as represented by courageous forest communities, civil society groups, artists, and activists who are fighting to restore the harmony between nature and humanity to ensure the planet's survival.

Artists involved in the exhibition include Andy Ball, Chea Sereyroth, Dahlia Phirun, Emilie Languedoc, Hour Seyha, Janice Seng, Jeremy Holden, Lucky the elephant, Miguel Jeronimo, Phina So, Roma Garzonio, Roun Ry, Sam Daro, Sao Sreymao, Sean Gallagher, Tamara Venn, Udam Pen, Samia Singh, Techit, Monorom, Vincent Romera, Yann Bigant, and Sar Senkethya.

The exhibition will run from 14 January to 4 February 2023 at F3 Friends Futures Factory. On the exhibition's opening day, there will be a traditional dance performance by Phum Asie from Kompong Thom, film screenings from the Sunflower Film Alliance, as well as a pop-up booth for the “SeSame But Different" condiment, made and sold by an indigenous group to support their community.
