About Epic Arts
We’re Epic Arts, and we’re on a mission to make the world a more inclusive place. Our journey began in 2001 when three of us, personally connected to disability, were studying the arts at university. It was our shared vision to use the power of the arts to change lives, to create a world where people with disabilities are not just included but celebrated. We believe that art is a universal language that breaks down barriers, connects hearts, and transcends differences.
Our story is intertwined with Cambodia, a country that has seen its share of struggles, including the tragic events of the Khmer Rouge regime, which resulted in unimaginable suffering and loss. Nearly a quarter of the population, approximately 2 million people, lost their lives during that period. The profound consequences, including severe disabilities among young survivors, were a stark reminder of the urgent need for basic education and support for disabled individuals.
For the past two decades, we’ve worked closely with our community, shaping our programs based on their needs and feedback. Currently, we run three core programs: Inclusive Education, Community Outreach, and Social Enterprises. These initiatives are all about transforming the lives of people with disabilities, breaking stereotypes, and sending a clear message that every person counts.
Our journey is one of passion, resilience, and unwavering commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable world. Join us in this incredible adventure, and let’s make an impact together.
