Friends of Suai - 25th Anniversary exhibition launch
About
Celebrate 25 years of friendship between the City of Port Phillip and Suai, East Timor.Since 2000, this unique partnership has been guided by a formal Friendship Agreement, supporting peace, connection and community development across borders. Through the Friends of Suai/Covalima, funding has enabled vital programs in education, health, gender equality, livelihoods and sustainability.
The exhibition will showcase treasured items from Suai, including:
- Handwoven and colourful tais – traditional cloths of Timor-Leste, rich with symbolic patterns and colours.
- Ceramic pottery and a glass solidarity block symbolising unity.
- An Order of Timor-Leste medal, recognising outstanding service
- A striking display of photographs capturing 25 years of shared history
We are delighted to welcome special guests Alberto Barros (Director) and Amelia Amaral (President) of the Covalima Community Centre in Suai to celebrate this enduring connection.
Refreshments provided.
