Served to you with a dash of lime is a provocation – to acknowledge the messy contradictions of our world with joy and good humour. Borne from an observation of weighty critical discourse in art, this exhibition ventures into the idea of play and laughter as valid and often vital tools of engagement. The intent is to bring together work from Sri Lanka and its diaspora that takes an off-the-cuff approach to negotiate contemporary realities, functioning not as an escape but as a porous entry point into contentious conversations. Here you encounter a different kind of criticality – one that is laced with levity.
