| Travelling exhibition on the tsunami ‘One Coast, One People: the Tsunami Story’, a multi-media exhibition in commemoration of the tsunami was held at Galle Face Green last week, and will now be taken to different parts of the country.
The exhibition is a joint venture of the Foreign Correspondents’ Association, the Sri Lanka Press Institute, the Ministry of Finance and Planning, the Reconstruction and Development Authority and UNDP. The commemorative exhibition will travel across the island, through tsunami devastated areas as well as the interior of the country. After its journey, it will become a permanent memorial in Colombo, as a testament to the trials and triumphs of the Sri Lankan people in the post-tsunami period. It focuses on the theme of ‘rebuilding the lives’ of the survivors of the tsunami, seen through a compilation of press photographs, television and radio news items, slide presentations and videos. It tells the ‘story’ of the tsunami from December 2004 till today.
