Chanrithy Him

‘The sight of someone dressed entirely in black would also trigger a memory—the uniforms of the Kmer Rouge. And for a moment it could paralyze me, as if I were under a spell…Memories seep back to me in ways I hadn’t imagined.’

Chanrithy Him is a child survivor of the Genocide in Cambodia. Today, she finds strength in telling her story and sharing a part of her culture through the medium of dance.
