THREAD (ខ្សែស្រឡាយ) January 2025 is an experimental radio broadcast that tells the story of a journey to Cambodia. It both represents Kom’s ongoing search to make sense of her Cambodian heritage, and is the record of a literal journey to the country with her father and brother to introduce her daughter and niece to the family in November 2022. It turned out to be her father’s last voyage back to his homeland. This iteration of THREAD is hosted by Radio Commons. It is also being exhibited alongside works by Dayanny So and Charles Fox at three events in 2025 to mark 50 years since the fall of Phnom Penh and the start of the Cambodian genocide.
