I was part of a panel that Middlesex Community College Professor Marge Rack had organized featuring the work of Yary Livan. In addition to Yary&#8217;s voice, the panel included the perspectives of a folklorist, art professor, and secondary school art teacher. It was a memorable experience, not only because of the craft of this incredible artist, but because of the stories shared and the emotions triggered by his life story.\u00a0Those present learned of Yary\u2019s training in Khmer fine arts, his surviving the Khmer Rouge Genocide, his resettlement in Lowell where he slowly regained \u00a0access to clay, the building and firing of a wood-fired kiln, and his dedication to teaching the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>A year following the NCECA panel, Yary Livan was named a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.gov\/honors\/heritage\/fellows\/yary-livan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Heritage Fellow<\/a>, the nation&#8217;s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
