Attended Arte Moris, Dili's contemporary art gallery. The buildign was originally a UN hospital and despite the uneven flooring, broken tiles, windows and plastered ceiling the art work on display by local art students illustrated a variety of techniques (mixed media, sculpture using old tyres and baskets, oil painting on local woven fabric, etchings, life drawings), and genres. Some artworks were expressive and whimsical, and many expressed the ongoing tragedy of life
in East Timor.
