July 23-August 13, 2024

Saskia Fernando Gallery, 41 Horton Pl, Colombo, Sri Lanka

Chandraguptha Thenuwara, Landscape Which Cannot Be Escaped

Saskia Fernando Gallery presents Meta-Real, a memorial exhibition by Chandraguptha Thenuwara that offers a distant contemplation of the socio-political developments in the nation since the 1980s.

The exhibition commemorates the tragic events of ‘Black July’, a series of Anti-Tamil Pogroms that occurred in 1983. Serving as a bridge between the past and present, Meta-Real urges viewers to reflect on unresolved issues that have persisted for four decades and consider their implications for the democratic future of our country.
