“Journeys, Routes & Roots: Crossing Paths Between Sri Lanka and Italy” the first event organized by our Institute where the talented Italian visual artist of Sri Lanka origins, Niluka Laura Telli, explored through a photography exhibition her connection with Sri Lanka and her deep roots from her childhood memories.
Dialogues featuring the acclaimed Sri Lankan filmmaker Mr Boodee Keerthisena connected the two artists by bringing their vision of belonging.
An inspiring evening moderated by Mr Prasad Wickramaratne from the Colombo International Theatre Festival.
From the powerful storytelling to the evocative visual world, the event explored migration, identity, and belonging, tracing the many ways Sri Lanka and Italy are connected across generations. 🇱🇰🇮🇹
Thank you to all who joined and helped make this dialogue come alive.
