Diary of events this week

Rotation 2 of the exhibition ‘Total Landscaping’ at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka’s (MMCA Sri Lanka) offers fresh lineup of public programmes. Entrance to the museum located on the ground floor of Crescat Boulevard, Colombo 3 and all of its public programmes is free.

The Choir of S. Thomas’ Preparatory School, directed by Harin Amirthanathan will present a programme of Christmas carols on Friday, December 20, from 2 pm to 3.30 pm. The MMCA Sri Lanka will also offer artwork spotlights on Sunday, December 22 and 29 from 11am to 12pm. These one-hour sessions led by the museum’s Visitor Educators focus on selected artworks from the exhibition.

Muvindu Binoy's exhibition Automata now on at PRSFG (Paradise Road Saskia Fernando Gallery) in Colombo. The artist’s negotiation with a seemingly endless repository of digital images and generative AI becomes a testament to the flux created by rapidly expanding fields of information. Automata unfolds like a fever dream, brimming with tropical abundance where discordant fragments; vintage photographs, strings of text, and assorted memorabilia opens a discourse on identity, gender, and culture with dry humour.
