Coast and Concrete : Abdul Halik Azeez & Raki Nikahetiya

Where is Sri Lanka heading? The country’s post-war transition causes us to question and re-evaluate ancient traditions in a digital age and caste system in the age of equality. What does it mean to be “local” in the face of a globalised world?

Coast and Concrete brings together the work of Abdul Halik Azeez and Raki Nikahetiya. Two photographers whose documentary work of urban and rural communities in Sri Lanka highlight social, political, cultural and economic trajectories and adaptation in changing times.
