On the occasion of the 16th edition of the prestigious Photo Phnom Penh festival, the highly anticipated Touk-Touk Tour returns to offer an immersive and memorable experience.

Le Touk-Touk Tour : Une déambulation photographique unique en son genre !

As every year, this thematic walk in the heart of the Cambodian capital offers a unique and atypical cultural promenade, transporting you from galleries to exhibition spaces, each revealing new perspectives on contemporary photography art. This tour is a dream opportunity to discover the effervescence of the local and international artistic scene.

For an intense half-day, about three hours of exploration and discovery, let yourself be carried (and carried away!) by the charm of the touk-touk, the emblematic mode of transport in Southeast Asia. It is an occasion to voyage through radically different photographic universes, set in iconic and often historic locations of Phnom Penh. Each stop invites contemplation and reflection.

A Cultural Itinerary in the Heart of the City

This year, the itinerary was carefully designed to guarantee a rich and varied route. The departure will take place at the « Institut Français du Cambodge » (IFC), a meeting point and major platform for Francophone cultural exchanges. From there, the touk-touk convoy will head to the « Centre Bophana », a place dedicated to Cambodian memory and audiovisual, then to the « Musée National », offering a fascinating contrast between ancient art and modern photography.

The visit will then lead participants to the dynamic gallery « Sra'Art », known for its commitment to emerging artists, before following the historically charged walls of the « l'Ambassade de France », a historic festival partner. The experience will be enriched by a stop at the « Factory Phnom Penh », an industrial space converted into a creative and cultural hub, symbolizing urban renewal. Finally, the loop will close by returning to the « Institut Français ».

More than just a gallery visit, it is an exceptional and friendly sharing moment around photography in all its forms: documentary, artistic, experimental... It’s also a chance to exchange with other enthusiasts and immerse yourself in the heart of the festival.
