PICTURE Cultural Art at Cal State Dominguez Hills is hosting the world premiere of work from Cambodian artist You Khin, in the current exhibition "I Have the Right."
Khin's art is on display along with the work of about 100 other artists , all representing interpretations of human rights including the right to love, the right to dream, the right to express yourself and the right to an education.
The exhibit will continue through late summer.
Khin left Cambodia to attend school in Europe a few years before the Khmer Rouge took over the country in 1975, prohibiting him from returning to his homeland.
This led him on an artistic journey, as he became sensitive to the conditions of people throughout the world and their right to freedom.
