Geoffrey Bawa Trust

This conversation between members of Fearless Collective and We Are From Here will explore their use of murals and public art interventions

Park Street Mews

The Arts played a vital role in Geoffrey Bawa&#x27;s work, and The Relative Security of Known and Learnt Things is the segment where we explore the relationship between art and architecture. This conversation between members of Fearless Collective and We Are From Here will explore their use of murals and public art interventions addressing personal histories and cultural &amp; political realities. Both collectives use buildings and sites for their murals and art, reclaiming space and magnifying stories of communities they work with. This session will be moderated by Tehani Ariyaratne. The Community Project &#x27;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/wearefromhereproject/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">We Are From Here</a>&#x27; focuses on religious tolerance, minority history telling and inter-faith solidarity, aiming at archiving oral testimonies and objects witnessing and exemplifying the urban trans-formation process and corresponding displacement in the multiethnic neighbourhood Slave Island.<a href="https://fearlesscollective.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fearless </a>is a South Asia based public arts project that creates space to move from fear to love using participative public art. In 2012, Bangalore-based visual artist Shilo Shiv Suleman started Fearless in response to to the powerful protests that shook the country in response to the “Nirbhaya” tragedy in Delhi, India. Since then, Fearless has worked in over 10 countries, co-creating 38 murals, reclaiming spaces, carving out public depictions of women and their significance in societies around the world.
