Epic Arts: Every Person Counts

Posted by:

Epic Arts is an Inclusive Arts NGO based in Cambodia providing education and opportunities for deaf, disabled and non-disabled people and their parents.

Since it’s initial opening in Cambodia with a few workshops in Phnom Penh, they has grown to include the popular Epic Arts Cafe in Kampot and a purpose built fully accessible Arts Centre. Many of the graduates from their early projects now work for Epic Arts as staff and act as advocates for many young disabled people in Cambodia.

Through arts as a form of expression and empowerment to bring people with and without disabilities together, Epic Arts aim to promote the message that every person counts through our inclusive education, community and social enterprise programmes.

Staff and students from Epic Arts and the local community from Kampot, Cambodia, perform an epic version of Pharell Williams’ monster hit ‘Happy’.
Cambodian youth from Epic Arts take on Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ number one hit ‘Uptown Funk’ to challenge how people see and understand disability.
