And they shall beat their swords into representational outdoor sculptures...

Well, okay, that's not quite how it goes, but it's a reasonable summary of Peace Art Project Cambodia, which is taking decommissioned small arms (left over from Cambodia's decades-long wars) and turning them into art.

"Established in July 2003 by Small Arms Specialist Neil Wilford and Artist Sasha Constable, PAPC brings together twenty three students recruited from the Royal University of Fine Art Phnom Penh utilizing decommissioned weapons to create works of art. The completed work is exhibited and sold to promote contemporary Cambodian art, young Cambodian artisans and a weapon free society in Cambodia and globally."
