Living Arts International (LAI) incubates cultural initiatives that contribute to a peaceful, sustainable future, using the living arts as a catalyst for change. LAI began in Cambodia and is shaped by its identity as a grassroots, post-conflict, non-profit organization.

LAI has spun-off organizations that enable cultural development in the Mekong Region, and in the Global South. LAI is now embarking on an ambitious project to bring Global South communities into the heart of global efforts to democratize access to cultural heritage, through technological innovation.

Cambodian Living Arts is a catalyst in a vibrant arts ecosystem, inspiring new generations.

Mekong Cultural Hub empowers diverse cultural practitioners to bring to life their visions for a sustainable and inclusive Asia.

Conecting South initiates policy-driven, transnational cultural actions, inspired by the resilience of arts communities in (post)conflict contexts.
