IN RESIDENCE @ APEXART WITH NOY CHUM: Week 4

Noy Chum was born in Phnom Penh (Cambodia) in 1979. She studied Photography and journalism (2003) at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. She currently works at Bophana Audiovisual Resource Center in Phnom Penh as a Cultural Event Manager. Founded by award-winning Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh, Bophana is the first and only center in Cambodia for their mission to preserve, collect and promote all audiovisual archives about Cambodia and make these archives available to a wide public. This is important because Cambodia lost most of its documents during the war years. Since 2002, she underwent training at the French newspaper, Cambodge Soir, where she was a journalist and photographer in the cities of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. She later worked as a reporter for the television program Business Edge, which was subsidized by the World Bank. Following this she worked as a public relations manager in the family business "La Compagnie BosbaPanh". It was a good opportunity and the first time for her to work with Cambodian artists and musicians to help them to and promote the Cambodian musical heritage.

Noy Chum was recommended by Erin Gleeson, an American historian of Asian art and curator living in Cambodia.
