IN BETWEEN PLACES: Participation in the City


Cities are constantly in motion and little remains static. An old building is knocked down to make way for a new building and in the time in between, a temporary restaurant does a roaring trade. A small blade of grass appears in between a crack in the pavement, like a new idea coming to light. Naturally across time, ground shifts, cracks appear, and places in between emerge. As new opportunities open up for beauty, growth, and potential transformation, the city can be perceived in a different way.

The process of urbanisation is occurring rapidly in cities around the world, affecting their spaces and people. If the cities we create impact and shape our daily lives, how in return, can we be active in shaping the identity of the city? Amidst this change, how can the places in between that appear be utilised by the city's many voices? This year, Our City Festival welcomes you to explore Phnom Penh with fresh eyes, discovering its 'in between places' with us.
