“Some events end with applause, but the memories, friendships, tears, and lessons we shared through Together We Remember 2026 will echo in our hearts forever.”
---
And just like that, Together We Remember 2026 has come to an end. Yet even though the program is over, the memories, emotions, laughter, tears, and lessons we shared together will forever stay alive in our hearts. This was never simply an event. It became a journey — a journey of remembrance, humanity, friendship, healing, and family.
From the exhibition “Consent Denied: Reflecting on the Legacy of Forced Marriage and Sexual Violence”, to the screening of Meeting with Pol Pot, the emotional panel discussion, and our educational field trip to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, every single moment carried meaning. Every conversation, every reflection, every silent emotion, and every shared experience reminded us why remembrance matters and why the stories of the past must continue to be told.
To all members of the CSEAS family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for every sleepless night, every stressful preparation, every late reply in the group chat, every decoration, every setup, every rehearsal, every problem solved together, and every sacrifice made to ensure this program became meaningful and successful. Behind every beautiful photo and every successful event were countless moments of hard work, exhaustion, pressure, and emotion that only we truly understand.
But through all of that, we stayed together. We laughed together, worried together, worked together, and supported one another like a real family. Some moments made us smile proudly, while some moments made us emotional and speechless. And now, all of those moments have become precious memories — memories that can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.
To everyone who joined us throughout Together We Remember 2026 — thank you for your presence, your reflections, your emotions, and your support. You helped create a space filled with compassion, understanding, and humanity. Because of all of you, this program became more than what we imagined.
We would also like to express our deepest appreciation to the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP), Bophana Center, Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and everyone who supported the CSEAS in making every activity run smoothly and meaningfully.
As this chapter closes, we hope this is not goodbye, but simply the end of one beautiful chapter before another begins. We hope the CSEAS family will return again with stronger bonds, greater dreams, the same loving members, and many new members ready to grow together with us. No matter where life takes us in the future, we hope our friendship will never fade and that the memories we created together will always remain in our hearts.
To every CSEAS member, may your future shine brightly like Moonshine in the darkest sky. May you achieve academic success, personal happiness, strength during difficult times, and success throughout your life journey. May all of us continue to grow, inspire others, and carry forward the values of remembrance, truth, justice, and humanity.
And finally, with hearts full of gratitude and hope, we look forward to Together We Remember 2027. Until then, thank you for everything, CSEAS family. These memories will stay with us forever.
From Marketing Committee, Event Committee, and Head System Committee

Our hearts are full of gratitude to everyone who joined the Community for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) on Wednesday, 22 April 2026, for the screening of Meeting with Pol Pot and the deeply moving discussion that followed.
That evening was more than a film screening. It was a moment of remembrance, reflection, and shared humanity. Together, we honored the voices of survivors, remembered the lives lost during the Khmer Rouge regime, and reflected on the painful consequences of power, violence, and the destruction of human dignity.
To every participant who listened, shared emotions, asked questions, and stood in solidarity with survivors and their stories — thank you.
Your presence reminded us that memory matters, that compassion matters, and that future generations must continue learning from the past so history is never forgotten.

On 25 April 2026, the Community for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) organized an educational field trip to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum as part of our Together We Remember 2026 observance. Through this meaningful visit, participants learned about the painful history of the Khmer Rouge regime and witnessed how a former school was transformed into a place of detention and interrogation. The preserved classrooms, prison cells, and photographs of victims reminded us of the importance of remembrance, justice, and humanity.
We sincerely thank everyone who joined us and participated in this reflective experience. Your presence, engagement, and thoughtful reflections helped make this visit deeply meaningful.
We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum for supporting the Community for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) and helping make this event run smoothly.
Special thanks to all CSEAS members whose dedication, teamwork, and hard work made this program shine successfully.
Wishing all participants continued learning, peace, strength, and compassion as we continue to remember together. 🤍

We are pleased to share a glimpse of the "Together We Remember 2026" exhibition 🕊️
This year, we organized the exhibition under the theme “Consent Denied: Reflecting on the Legacy of Forced Marriage and Sexual Violence” in commemoration of World Genocide Day. Through this exhibition, we aimed to highlight the painful and traumatizing stories of forced marriage and sexual violence during the Khmer Rouge regime , stories that should never be forgotten.
To make the exhibition more meaningful and reflective, we displayed panels from the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), along with visual decorations inspired by the realities and missing parts of marriage and consent under the Khmer Rouge regime.
We would like to sincerely thank the American University of Phnom Penh (AUPP) and the faculty staff for their facilitation and continuous support throughout the exhibition. We are especially grateful to the ECCC of Cambodia for allowing us to utilize the panels for this meaningful exhibition.
Lastly, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all professors, students, members of the public, and everyone who came to visit and engage with the exhibition. Your presence, reflections, and support truly mean a lot to us 🤍
