This exhibition at the Xanana Gusm\u00e3o Reading Room is in memory of the events which took place in 1999 which opened the path to the restoration of independence for Timor-Leste!\u00a0The main feature of this exhibition is a collection of memories from ordinary people. We asked the Timorese public to bring in a piece of their history from 1999. These stories represent different experiences from the Timorese at that time.<\/p>\n
For this exhibition, we are also collaborating with Centro Nacional Chega (CNC) to help our visitors have a better understanding about the history leading up to the vote for independence.<\/p>\n
