Laos P.D.R. - Camera distribution/workshopsProgram CoordinatorsVincent Cianni
Program DatesSummer 2004 - Present
In this ongoing participatory photography project, Vincent Cianni has been distributing cameras to the novices and monks of Wat Aham, one of the more than twenty temples in the Laotian town of Luang Probang. This engaging project allows us to see the world from the eyes of the monastic community. For the people of Lao, temple and school are the two focal points of village life. The temple, or wat, provides a symbol of village identity as well as a location for ceremonies and festivals. Traditionally, all males between the ages of eight and twenty are expected to spend some time as a novice or monk prior to marriage. Prior to the establishment of secular schools, village boys received basic education from the older monks. After their studies, most novices and some monks leave the temple to return to their village. Although the role of Buddhism in Laos has been permanently changed by its encounter with the socialist/communist Pathet government, Buddhism retains its importance in the community. |
