Painting Our Lives is a book of art and testimony by Cambodian children living in the midst of the AIDS epidemic, and is told through the children’s own pictures and words. The children explore their identities, describe their daily lives, engage their imaginations and talk about their dreams for the future. Through art, they take on a new role as young artists and learn that their observations and impressions matter. Painting Our Lives documents the triumph of the human spirit over unimaginable difficulties and celebrates the ability of art to empower, transform, heal, speak truth and delight the human spirit.
