Kälam – a space for cultural encounters

An Exhibition of Selected Photography

The Humanity & Earth photography exhibition, which manifested during a short Covid-window in September 2020, presented a beautifully curated selection of works at the Harold Peiris Gallery. The six exhibited photographers Tashiya de Mel, Munira Mutaher, Shehan Obeysekera, Ramanathan Parilojithan, Sandranathan Rubatheesan and Tilaxan Tharmapalan had been mentored over 2 years by Andy Spyra and Liz Fernando in documenting environmental areas of concern and developing their own personal visual languages. As the pandemic picked up again, all plans for this exhibition to travel other parts of the island had to be postponed.

After this extended pause, we are now happy to announce that a selection from this exhibition curated by Liz Fernando will be shown at Kälam in from the 19th of March until 6th of April 2023 daily from 10:30 am – 6:30 pm.

Join us for the Opening on Sunday, 19th of March (10:30 AM onwards) with a guided walk, followed by a conversation between Liz Fernando, Tilaxan Tharmapalan and Lojithan Ram on how the participation in the project shaped their photographic practice.
