Called "a blistering evocation of genocide's ghosts," by the Oregonian at it's 2005 work-in-progress premier, Forgotten Memories centers on Tuol Sleng [hill of the poison tree], an abandoned suburban Phnom Penh high school that was code-named S-21and transformed into a Khmer Rouge interrogation center from 1975-1979. Headed by Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge combined extremist ideology, ethnic animosity, and a disregard for human life to produce murder on a massive scale. Approximately 1.7 million people lost their lives (21% of the country's population) under the Pol Pot regime. Over 17,000 prisoners were interrogated, tortured, and executed inside the walls of S-21.

Last week I listed the Creative Capacity Steering Committee, packed with business leaders and social networkers. Below is part two, the Creative Capacity Strategy Committee, "comprised of artists, arts organizations, creative businesses and other creative community members will develop recommendations that will be used to develop plan strategies. They will also reach out to engage the creative community, assist in crafting the plan and galvanize the effort to implement the plan's recommendations."
It's unclear how these folks were recruited or chosen; some seem only tangentially attached to the art business. I'd say willingness was probably the most uniform quality among this group.
Strategy Committee Members
Sam Adams - Portland City Council / mayoral candidate
Jennifer Armburst - Owner of the tiny Motel Gallery, "founder emeritus" of PORT
Eva Calcagno - Manager of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services
David Cohen - Executive Director of the Museum of Contemporary Craft
