Professor Chandraguptha Thenuwara’s annual memorial exhibition commemorating Black July takes place from 23 July to 13 August at the Saskia Fernando Gallery, under the title ‘Meta-Real’. Defined by Prof. Thenuwara as a term combining ‘meta’ – from the ancient Greek meaning ‘beyond’ – with ‘real,’ the exhibition challenges viewers to look beyond the superficial and question the truths presented to them.
