Go Home is Within Me: Pradeep Thalawatta

Saskia Fernando Gallery’s upcoming solo presentation Go Home is Within Me by Pradeep Thalawatta mines the memories of struggle and solidarity incubated at the site of the Aragalaya. Informed by its emotionally charged atmosphere and lingering absence, Thalawatta seeks resonances of this shared experience within the intimacy of his private world.

Thalawatta’s works were recently exhibited at Latitude 28, New Delhi (2025); SOAS Gallery, London (2025); and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Colombo (2024). His works are held in the permanent collections of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan, and the Millesgården Museum, Sweden. He is a recipient of the prestigious UNESCO Madanjeet Singh Institute for South Asian Arts scholarship.
