Food and drinks offering at Chheng Meng, Tomb Sweeping Day

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Chheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
It is a celebration of spring, by honouring and remember the ancestors by cleaning and decorate their graves, pray and bring offerings of food and drink, money and high value items.
After the rites and cleaning of the graves, the Khmer family gathers for food, drinks and celebrating family, friends and neighbours at one of the family members houses. It is always a great honour to be invited to attend.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from The Bible

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
 
[ἐὰν οὖν προσφέρῃς τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κἀκεῖ μνησθῇς ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἔχει τι κατὰ σοῦ, ἄφες ἐκεῖ τὸ δῶρόν σου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ὕπαγε πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, καὶ τότε ἐλθὼν πρόσφερε τὸ δῶρόν σου.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Matthew 5:23-24 [KJV (1611)]

The Wild Hunt News

One day this August I picked up my phone and called Jens-Roger. “You know I told you the other week that I and my family were moving out?” “Yes, I remember.” “Well, I was thinking that before we leave for good, we should bury our daughter’s placenta. And we all really enjoy your place. Could we find a spot somewhere there?”

Mini Lessons from my art practice #4:
Trust that even in your unfinished pieces and your wacky doodles, stuff is happening. Even when it's all you do for a month - stuff is happening. You're still learning, growing, getting ideas for other work, and just being. A capitalist society that glorifies productivity will have you believe that only finished pieces are proof that you're moving forward - this is untrue

Mini Lessons from my art practice # 3:
This one's about art collabs - Set boundaries when collaborating with others that honors everyone's contributions and sets clear expectations. Boundaries should not create barriers for working together, they should be there to make all collaborators' input / creativity be heard / seen and respected
