1 | Public Uproar in Cambodia After City Government ‘Whitewashes’ US Artist's Mural | Ngonongonom-bahoaka Ao Kambodza taorian'ny “Namotsian'ny” Ben'ny Tanàna Ny Hosodokon'ny Mpanakanto Iray Avy ao Etazonia |

3 | Cambodian netizens including the country's information minister have strongly criticized the decision of the Phnom Penh municipality to erase a large mural painted over a housing tenement known as the White Building because it allegedly lacked permission from City Hall. | Nitsikera mafy ny fanapahan-kevitry ny kaominin'i Phnom Penh hamafa ny hosodoko lehibe iray nolokoina teo amin'ny tranobe fonenana fantatra amin'ny hoe Tranobe Fotsy ny mpiserasera Kambodziana, anisan'izany koa ny minisitry ny fampahalalam-baovao ao amin'ny firenena, voalaza fa tsy nahazo fahazoan-dalana avy amin'ny Lapan'ny Tanàna ny fametahana ny hosodoko. |

5 | - The Phnom Penh Post (@phnompenhpost) December 20, 2015 | Voakasika ny mpanakanato an-dalambe taorian'ny korontana momba ny hosodoko tao amin'ny Tranobe Fotsy tao Kambodza |
6 | The mural was made by American Miles MacGregor, known as El Mac, as part of the Igloo Hong Project which aims to support the work of artists around the world. | Nataon'ilay Amerikana Miles MacGregor, fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe El Mac ny hosodoko, izay anisan'ny Tetikasa Igloo Hong mikendry hanohana ny asan'ny mpanakanto manerana izao tontolo izao. |
7 | For his part, El Mac wrote on his blog that he is dedicating his Cambodian project to artists who perished during the rule of the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s: | Amin'ny fandraisany anjara, nanoratra tao amin'ny bilaoginy i El Mac fa ny tetikasany Kambodziana dia atolony ho an'ireo mpanakanto lavo nandritra ny fitondran'i Khmer Rouge tamin'ny taompolo 1970: |
8 | This mural honors Cambodia's artists, both contemporary and those lost during the Cambodian genocide of the mid to late 1970s, when nearly all of the country's creative population was targeted and murdered by the regime. | Manome voninahitra ny mpanakanto ao Kambodza ity hosodoko ity, na ny ankehitriny na ireo nanjavona nandritra ny fandripahana ny Kambodziana nandritra ny tapaky ny taompolo 1970, izay lasibatra sy novonoin'ny fitondrana ny ankamaroan'ny vahoaka tia mamorona ao amin'ny firenena . |
9 | He felt privileged that the mural will be painted over a building where many artists and artisans are currently living: | Nahatsiaro nanana tombotsoa izy satria holokoina eo amin'ny tranobe fonenan'ireo mpanao asa tanana sy mpanakanto maro ankehitriny ny hosodoko: |
10 | Since I had the opportunity to paint such a large, visible wall in a place where there are seemingly no other large scale murals like it, I felt an extra sense of responsibility to paint something beautiful, meaningful, and uplifting. | |
11 | I hope this mural can serve as a respectful tribute to the importance and perseverance of Cambodia's creative legacy, and possibly, in some small way, offer inspiration for younger Cambodian artists to sustain this legacy. | Hatramin'ny nahafahako nandoko ny rindrina lehibe sy hita maso ao amin'ny toerana izay toa tsy ahitana hosodoko goavana hafa tahaka ity, nahatsiaro nanana andraikitra hafa aho mba handoko zavatra mahafinaritra, misy dikany, ary mankahery. |
12 | Handmade #diy gets rarer and rarer these days , one day in Cambodia while walking across the roof of this old apartment building looking for spots to paint , we came across this surreal scene of a woman who had a mat outside on the roof with broken tiles and black mold everywhere hand sewing the most intricate #shawl next to a pile of stacked tiles painted like #batman, we talked to her and she let us paint the outside of her apartment , I bought the shawl for my mom , I guess there's only 2 people left in #phnompenh that do this type of detailed sewing craft, everyone else just uses a hot glue gun , anyways the apartment building was old and hadn't been renovated since the 50's , so @mac_arte did this amazing portrait of the woman who made the shawl , on the side of her building so she and everyone can see it everyday , we pay respect to her craft and honor her hard work #workHarder #tryharder #igloohong @davidchoe2 @esao @jamesjeanart @mr_aryz @jaworskijason @d_maddux @mattrevelli @pacoraterta | Manantena aho fa azo atao fanomezam-boninahitra sy fanajana ny maha zava-dehibe sy ny faharetan'ny lovan'ny famoronana ao Kambodza ity hosodoko ity, ary koa, amin'ny fomba kely hafa, manolotra aingam-panahy ho an'ny mpanakanto tanora Kambodziana mba hanohana ity lovantsofina ity.

13 | | Miha-vitsy ny asa tanana ataon'olo-tsotra tao anatin'izay andro vitsivitsy izay, indray andro tao Kambodza raha mandehandeha manerana ny tafon'ity tranobe fonenana ity izahay mitady toerana holokoina no nahatsikaritra ity zavatra tsy fahita ity dia vehivavy iray nanana tsihy eo ivelan'ny tafo tanimanga vakivaky sy lasitra mainty miparitaka, teo am-panjairana lamba fitafy tena sarotra indrindra eo akaikin'ny antontan-tanimanga nolokoina toy ny #batman izy, niresaka taminy izahay ary navelany nandoko ny ivelan'ny trano fonenany, novidiako ho an'ny reniko ilay lamba fitafy, heveriko fa olona 2 sisa no manao izany karazana asa tanana fanjairana izany ao #phnompenh, mampiasa lakaoly mafana ny rehetra ambiny, na izany aza, efa antitra ny tranobe ary tsy mbola nohavaozina nanomboka ny taona 1950, ka nanatontosa ity sarim-behivavy nanjaitra ilay lamba fitafy ity i @mac_arte, teo amin'ny sisin'ny trano fonenany ka afaka mahita izany isan'andro izy sy ny hafa rehetra, manaja ny asa tanany sy manome voninahitra ny asa mafy ataony izahay |
14 | A photo posted by DAVID CHOE (@davidchoe) on Dec 11, 2015 at 12:14pm PST | Iray amin'ireo mpiasa ara-kolontsaina monina ao amin'ny tranobe i Moeun Thary, mpanjaitra an-tanana ny akanjo nentim-paharazana Khmer. |
15 | One of the cultural workers living in the building is Moeun Thary, a seamstress who hand sews traditional Khmer clothing. | Nisafidy an'i Moeun Thary i El Mac ho lohahevitra amin'ny hosodokony ho fanomezam-boninahitra ny zavatra ataon'ity vehivavy ity izay miaro sy mampiroborobo ny kolontsaina Khmer nentim-paharazana. |
16 | El Mac chose Moeun Thary as the subject of his mural in honor of what she is doing to preserve and promote traditional Khmer culture. | |

18 | - Bun Sengkong (@bunsengkong) December 18, 2015 | Jereo ny hatsarany… |
19 | Unfortunately, City Hall immediately ordered the removal of the mural since El Mac and his team allegedly proceeded to paint the mural while their application for the right to was still being processed. | Indrisy, nanome baiko avy hatrany ny hanaisorana ny hosodoko ny lapan'ny tanàna satria voalaza fa nanomboka nandoko ny rindrina i El Mac sy ny ekipany raha mbola teo am-pandinihana ny fangatahan'izy ireo hanatontosa izany. |
20 | A spokesman of the local agency added that the application didn't get the approval because the mural was not completed in the Khmer tradition while the subject (Moeun Thary) was not well-known. | |
21 | The official advised the artist to depict a Khmer hero, instead. Municipality replaces mural by internationally famous artist with messy cover up. | Nilaza ihany koa ny mpitondra ny sampan-draharaha ao an-toerana fa tsy nahazo fankatoavana ny fangatahana satria tsy vita tao anatin'ny fomban-drazana Khmer ny hosodoko no sady tsy fantatra tsara ihany koa ny foto-kevitra (Moeun Thary). |
22 | #Cambodia pic.twitter.com/UGo7OMTD31 - Will Jackson (@willjackson) December 17, 2015 | Nanoro hevitra ny mpanakanto ny manampahefana mba hampiseho ny maherifo Khmer ho solon'izany. |
23 | And it seems City Hall is also ‘whitewashing' other street art projects: | Nosoloin'ny kaominina tamin'ny rakotra mikorontana ny hosodokon'ilay mpanakanto malaza iraisampirenena |
24 | #Cambodia #streetart on Street 830 being whitewashed away by government-approved artists. | Ary fantatra fa toa “nanafotsy” ireo tetikasa ara-java-kanto hafa ihany koa ny Lapan'ny tanàna: |
25 | @Poximity pic.twitter.com/MmLseXI0z5 - Luke Hunt (@lukeanthonyhunt) December 17, 2015 | Kanto an-dalambe tao amin'ny Lalana 830 no nofafan'ny mpanakanto nankatoavin'ny governemanta ao Kambodza. |
26 | The whitewashing of the mural shocked many Cambodians who appreciated El Mac's work. | Nahatezitra ny maro nankasitraka ny asan'i El Mac ny fanafotsiana ilay hosodoko. |
27 | Even Information Minister Khieu Kanharith urged the local government to praise the artist instead of removing his mural | Na ny Minisitry ny Fampahalalam-baovao, Khieu Kanharith aza mba nandrisika ny governemanta ao an-toerana mba hidera ilay mpanakanto fa tsy hanaisotra ny hosodokony |
28 | Many Internet users commented that Phnom Penh is littered with large advertising billboards of alcohol drinks but these are not being removed by the local government. | Naneho hevitra ny maro tamin'ny mpiserasera aterineto fa feno takela-dokambarotra lehibe momba ny zava-pisotro misy alikaola ao Phnom Penh kanefa tsy nesorin'ny governemanta ao an-toerana ireo. |
29 | Some even suggested El Mac should have inserted an image of a beer into the mural so it would not be defaced by authorities. | Ny sasany aza nilaza mihitsy fa tokony nanisy sarina labiera tao amin'ny hosodoko i El Mac mba tsy ho fafan'ny manam-pahefana izany. |
30 | On Facebook, Graffiti Cambodia described the action of the local government as an attack on public art: | Tao amin'ny Facebook, nosokajian'ny Graffiti Cambodia ho fanafihana ny zavakantom-bahoaka ny fihetsiky ny governemanta: |
31 | The Cambodian government is sending a clear message that public art will not be tolerated. | Mandefa hafatra mazava ny governemanta Kambojiana fa tsy ho leferina ny zavakanto-bahoaka. |
32 | Either that or they just spat out their dummy in the most fastidious way possible. | Na izany na rorain'izy ireo fotsiny amin'ny fomba mahatrotraka indrindra azo atao ny sarin'olon'izy ireo (mpanakanto). |
33 | Meanwhile, Cambodian Urban Art Festival organizer Theo Vallier has mixed thoughts about the issue: | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, hafa ny hevitr'ilay mpikarakara ny Fetiben'ny Kanto Andrenivohitra Kambodijiana, Theo Vallier: |
34 | …on one hand, I don't approve of what City Hall did because it's art and everything, but on the other hand, they didn't have the authorizations. | …Amin'ny lafiny iray, tsy mankasitraka ny zavatra nataon'ny Lapan'ny tanàna aho satria zavakanto sy zava-drehetra io, saingy amin'ny lafiny iray hafa, tsy nahazo fahazoan-dàlana izy ireo. |
35 | I've been in Cambodia long enough to understand the rules here, and we are really trying to play by the rules here. | Efa ela ihany aho no tao Kambodza ary mahafantatra tsara ny fitsipika eto, ary tena miezaka manaja ny fitsipika isika eto. |
36 | Although the mural is gone it ‘survives' on YouTube: | Na dia tsy eo intsony aza ny hosodoko, velona ao amin'ny YouTube izy: |
