PHNOM PENH: When Unesco congratulated Cambodia for the inscription of the iconic woven krama on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in Asuncion, Paraguay, on Monday (Dec 2), the entire kingdom celebrated with congratulatory posters and messages flooding social media.
Among those celebrating was Mean Sonyta, affectionately known as the “Queen of Krama”, who has spent the last seven years promoting the craft and supporting the fabric weaving community through her design boutique, Slanh House.
