In 2011, the space now occupied by Sangker Gallery was a common studio where freshly educated artists met to exchange ideas and collaborate. While wanting to offer better visibility to the artists, the gallery did not want to break with the primary function of the place and limit itself to an exhibition space. The gallery is always a living space where artists can find material for their creations, work on their projects, draw inspiration from one another and use the internet for their research. Close to its artists, the team of the gallery takes to heart to support them in their artistic process. Film screenings are organized, debates, meetings and workshops by and for artists are set up with a specific theme (color, sculpture, etc.). We try to provide them with all the keys to success, especially by involving them in intercultural exchanges. In the heart of the city of Battambang, Sangker Gallery is committed to bringing contemporary art to the Cambodian public.

Banteay Srei or Banteay Srey is a 10th-century Cambodian temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Located in the area of Angkor, it lies near the hill of Phnom Dei, 25 km north-east of the main group of temples that once belonged to the medieval capitals of Yasodharapura and Angkor Thom.

Koh Ker, three hours from Siem Reap, served as the capital of the Khmer empire from 928 to 944, and was built under King Jayavarman IV under whose reign colossal sculptures and lingas were constructed, leading to charges of megalomania. Some of the lingas remain, though the sculptures have been removed to the museum in Phnom Penh. The site, which has only recently been demined, is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30 meter high pyramid temple. In view of the distance, there are far fewer crowds here, making a visit an easier and more pastoral experience.
