National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial
In 2017, Dr. Ada Cheng, the storytelling artist, and the National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial started our collaboration and introduced storytelling to the museum. During the past 4 years, we have incorporated storytelling into various program activities, including summer camp, storytelling workshops, storytelling events, storytelling circles. Our goal for this coming year is to formalize the institutionalization of storytelling at the museum. We are aiming to develop a model for the institutionalization of storytelling, which can be applied to and implemented by other museums and cultural/heritage organizations.
