Sri Lankan stories unfold in two powerful Delhi exhibitions

This September, Delhi plays host to a rare cultural moment: two exhibitions that bring Sri Lankan contemporary art to the forefront in a way the city has never witnessed before. Presented by Shrine Empire at Bikaner House, these shows not only highlight the resilience of artistic voices shaped by decades of conflict but also invite viewers to reflect on how art becomes both a testimony and a tool for healing. From fabric transformed into fragile memories to bold statements on political blindness, Homes Wrapped in Cloth, Borders Raised in Flags and After Aphantasias stand as urgent reminders of art’s power to reimagine histories and borders alike.
