COLLABORATION

The Cambodian Oral History Project is a collaborative team with representatives from

PROJECT LEADERS

The project is made up of a highly motivated and committed group of professionals and an advisory board representing a broad cross-section of the Stockton and Cambodian community.

We have designed the Cambodian Oral History Project to engage diverse audiences, on multiple levels, around the cultural contributions of Cambodians in our community. Outcomes will illuminate the history and traditional arts of Cambodian-American refugees, while also exploring the redemptive potential of artistic creation and fueling future endeavors.

Calixtro Romias

Award-winning professional Calixtro Romias is the lead videographer and photographer on the Stockton Cambodian Oral History Project and has worked in his field for more than three decades. Mr. Romias’ work has also been widely published in The Record in Stockton, USA Today, The Washington Post, Esquire, Asian Weekly and numerous other publications. His close ties to the Asian culture and his poignant and compelling work documenting the homeless, our nation’s veterans, the displaced and the diaspora communities in the Central Valley have given his work an extraordinary dimension and a rich and deep connection to the Cambodian culture the project would otherwise lack.
