President Mohamed Nasheed and First Lady Laila Ali, last evening, opened Drawing the Wave, an art exhibition curated by Mrs Ragni Afeef, opened at National Art Gallery.

Drawing the Wave exhibits children’s drawings and Mrs Afeef’s own photographs from her visits to Burunee and Madifushi of Thaa atoll, and Meedhoo of Dhaalu atoll two months after the tsunami. The exhibited art pieces were drawn by the children of the three islands, which were affected by the 2004 tsunami.

In 2005 and 2006 Drawing the Wave was exhibited in several institutions and museums in Norway.
