Stone & Compass is working with Cambodian shadow puppet masters through the Khmer Arts Academy on a project involving the preservation of the unique art of shadow puppetry through education and training new individuals. By partnering with local entities in Cambodia and the Cambodian community in Long Beach, California, we are looking to establish a sustainable financial base to expand this project and create a future Stone & Compass center in the region.
