Secrets of Sri Lanka: Make a Contribution to CuriousWorks’ new creative project

Amma and I in Sri LankaCuriousWorks’ new arts project is about Sri Lanka – and I’m hoping that you can be a part of it.

Put simply, what do you wish for Sri Lanka’s future? If you could speak honestly – without fearing what others may think, with the lessons learned from the past, but without the baggage – what would you say?

We’re looking for simple contributions about Sri Lanka that the Australian public will be able to see, hear, taste, touch and smell. Send us something in the post. Leave a voicemail message. Think laterally. What image, item or sound could represent what you wish for Sri Lanka’s future?

I put this question particularly to the Sri Lankans reading this post – but also to anyone who has an interest in the pearl island. Your answers will be part of a touring installation and an ongoing website that reaches out to many parts of the Australian community and media.

It features timelapses of the town and surrounding landscapes, a documentary filmed by young people from Roebourne and an interactive photo gallery of images also taken by a young person from Roebourne. If you’re ever in Surry Hills in July, pop in to check it out!
