As Sri Lanka begins to rebuild itself and attempts at reconciliation begin to take shape, the exhibition “Apperceiving 1983” looks back at the events that transpired between the people of Sri Lanka and the violent effect it had on numerous lives, memories and futures. This show works as a continuation to Gayan Prageeth’s exhibition last year under the same title. For him, the work of memorializing is not yet done. These new works continue to speak to the turmoil that preceded and followed the eruption of the civil war, through installations. sculptures and geometric symbolism. They are a combination of works that meditate not only on Sri Lanka’s history but imply connections to the current state of countries around the world.
