The Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra is delighted to offer the capital's public its first Octobookfest, a unique literary exhibition running until October 31, 2024, in the elegant Phokeethra Gallery.
This unique event immerses visitors in Cambodia's rich heritage, with a selection of books focusing on Cambodian culture, cuisine and architecture, available in French, English and Khmer.
The first-ever Octobookfest invites locals and international visitors alike to explore Cambodia's fascinating traditions and history through the prism of literature. Focusing on the past and the present, the exhibition presents a carefully selected range of titles that offer an in-depth insight into Cambodia's ever-changing cultural landscape.
Charles-Henri Chevet, General Manager of the Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, comments:
“This exhibition is more than a celebration of books, it's a celebration of Cambodia's rich heritage. Through literature, we hope to foster a greater appreciation of the culture, cuisine and architecture that characterize this magnificent country.”
In addition to the extensive collection of books, Octobookfest also features a program of events that will enrich visitors' experience with interviews and discussions with authors: Renowned local and international authors will talk about their work on Cambodian history, art and traditions. These conversations will give visitors valuable insight into the creation of these cultural literary treasures.
Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra is committed to creating a cultural center where locals and visitors alike can come together to appreciate the beauty of Cambodia's heritage. The Phokeethra Gallery offers the perfect setting to explore these literary works and connect with the region's vibrant past and present.
