EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant spirit of Cambodia's youth as they embrace skateboarding at the Skateistan skate park in Phnom Penh. Taken on October 6,2016, by renowned photographer Tang Chhin Sothy from Agence France-Presse (AFP), this image showcases a group of children fearlessly riding their skateboards with pure joy and enthusiasm. The composition of the photograph is visually striking, with the vertical frame emphasizing the height and energy of these young skaters. Against a backdrop of colorful graffiti-covered ramps and walls, their dynamic movements are frozen in time - an ode to their passion for skating. Skateboarding has become more than just a sport; it has evolved into a powerful tool for social change in Cambodia. The Skateistan organization provides opportunities for underprivileged children to engage in sports activities while also receiving education and mentorship programs. This inclusive initiative empowers girls and boys alike, breaking down gender barriers that have traditionally limited female participation in sports. Through this photograph, Tang Chhin Sothy beautifully captures not only the physical prowess but also the sense of camaraderie among these young skateboarders. Their smiles radiate happiness and determination as they navigate through obstacles together. This photo serves as a reminder that sports can transcend cultural boundaries, providing avenues for self-expression, personal growth, and community building. It symbolizes hope for Cambodia's future generation – one where equality thrives alongside youthful exuberance on wheels.
