I AM A DAUGHTER – Female Empowerment Theatre Play
Since 2015, Meta House promotes educational theatre in Cambodian schools and universities. So far, over 60.000 students have attended our live performances. Because of the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, we have …recorded two plays and added them to our YouTube channel.
I AM A DAUGHTER is written by female Cambodian playwright Kim Dyna.
“The topic is girl empowerment. I want to encourage women not to drop their studies,” she says. She tells the story of Neary, who has just passed her grade-12 exams with a “C”, enough to escape her rural hometown and pursue a university education in Phnom Penh – just like her older brother, though her grandmother wants her to marry the rich rice-mill owner nearly twice her age.
The project is funded by the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Southeast Asia (RLS Hanoi Office). It is an internationally operating non-profit institution that has become a provider of political education and a center for progressive social research in both Germany and throughout the world.[+] Show More

CONCRETE VISIONS
It is hard to imagine a crueler fate for an urban planner than seeing his country taken over by a regime with a murderous hatred of cities. As Cambodia’s pre-eminent …architect and chief urban planner during the 1960’s, Vann Molyvann laid out significant portions of Phnom Penh and designed dozens of landmark structures fusing High Modernist design with classical Khmer elements. Then, in 1975, the Khmer Rouge marched into the capital and evacuated its entire population. Vann Molyvann, who survived the Khmer Rouge Regime in Swiss exile, returned in 1991 to Cambodia. Nowadays, his legacy is under threat due to Cambodia’s on-going construction boom. Helen Grant–Ross, an Art historian and architect, and filmmaker Nico Mesterharm, interviewed Vann Molyvann at the age of 80, in 2008. While the great architect’s views on the current development of Phnom Penh are still respectfully listened to, they are seldom acted upon.

ART OF SURVIVAL – The First Exhibition by Meta House about the Khmer Rouge Legacy
Democratic Kampuchea was one of the worst human tragedies of the 20th century. Nearly 1.7 million Cambodians died from diseases due to a lack of medicines and medical services, starvation, …execution, or exhaustion from overwork. Tens of thousands were made widows and orphans, and those who lived through the regime were severely traumatized by their experiences. Several hundred thousand Cambodians fled their country and became refugees. Millions of mines were laid by the Khmer Rouge and government forces, which have led to thousands of deaths and disabilities since the 1980s. The Cold War killed any prospect of a tribunal. Justice was all but frozen for decades –until 2006. In that year, the UN-backed Khmer Rouge Tribunal (ECCC) was finally established in Phnom Penh.
Within the study and practice of transitional justice, the roles played by the arts in addressing past human rights violations have become increasingly well accepted. Coinciding with the trial, Meta’s first legacy project “Art of Survival” began in January 2008 with 21 artists and expanded in October 2008 to include a total of 40 artists from different age groups. Works represented for the first time the divergent perspectives of different generations of Cambodians on Pol Pot and his “Killing Fields”. The project’s immediate success encouraged the Meta House team to organize numerous village art exhibitions, public forums or film screenings in cooperation with the Government, local NGOs and international donors.[+] Show More
