A Cambodian Experience

This past winter Ms. Berman spent two months in Cambodia where she continued her study of Khmer textiles. Her first stop was in Siem Reap where she attended a symposium on Khmer ikat.

After a few weeks studying representations of textiles in the carvings of numerous temple complexes around Siem Reap, Ms. Berman went to Phnom Penh to view an exhibition of pidan organized by the Pidan Poject Team. Pidan are pictorial silk ikats used in Buddhist temples.

Car and boat brought Ms. Berman to the remote village of Sre Po in the District and Province of Stung Treng. There she worked with the Stung Treng Women’s Development Center (SWDC), an NGO founded by two of the most remarkable people, Ngoun Chanta and Kim dara Chan, both survivors of the holocaust.

At SWDC, a silk weaving center that provides education, training and support for women at risk, Ms. Berman assisted with color and product design suggestions, helped Chan and Chanta with computer programs, discussed business practices and goals, and provided a few architectural and design suggestions for the new facilities. Before she left she was honored to become a member of the Board of Trustees of this most worthwhile project.
