Youk Chhang, Chairman and Founder, the Sleuk Rith Institute and Zaha Hadid invite you to a reception to celebrate plans for a ground-breaking new center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia designed by Zaha Hadid Architects dedicated to the prevention of genocide worldwide. Sleuk rith are dried leaves that Cambodian religious leaders and scholars have used for centuries to document history, disseminate knowledge, and preserve culture during periods of harsh rule and grave peril. The Sleuk Rith Institute will represent a permanent stand against mass violence in Cambodia and throughout the world.
