2008.7.6 updated.

In December 2005, we had a collaborative exhibition of paintings and photographs at a gallery in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where we met Daniela Papi, an American. She told us about a school she had built with volunteers in a village called Chanleas Dai, which is a 4 hour drive from Siem Reap, where Angkor Wat is located.
Hearing that no Japanese had ever visited there, we became very curious, and later, went with Daniela to visit her school with some paint and a ladder we bought.
At the school, Keeda Oikawa made paintings, while Toshi Ota used photographs and video to document the interactions with the children, which were realized through the paintings.

Children and grand-children of former refugees, welcomed us, their first Japanese visitors, with wonderful smiles.
A carefree ambitious boy, a girl with a shy and gentle look, boys and girls still too poor to attend school…

We came in contact with the local people through painted imagery rather than letters and words. We hope that our paintings and photographs in this exhibition will give you the same feelings we experienced then.

Last thirty-five years of Cambodian history were full of events that shocked the rest of the world but also mobilized international community to facilitate the reconstruction of the country. Khmer Rouge regime claimed lives of over 2 million Cambodian people and displaced thousands of refugees into Thailand and many other countries around the world. UNHCR together with other UN agencies and numerous NGOs have been working since on the development, education and many other issues in the country. Dealing with the trauma of what happened during the genocide is uneasy task for both parents and their children and the role of education, including art therapy, as one of the Millennium Development Goals, is crucial for the better future of the country.

This exhibition focuses on one of such projects where through arts, children from former refugee and displaced communities, get a chance to start seeing their country, its history and the rest of the world in brighter colors.
