In describing the objectives and goals of the exhibition Hadeed hopes that in the exhibition viewers will be able “to find a reflection of our struggles and achievements as a people; a sense of what we have collectively shared as a young nation.” A catalogue of the exhibition will be on sale together with postcard sets.
