Migrant Memory Exhibition at Kalakriti Art Gallery

Deccan Chronicle  

Migration is as ancient as humanity itself—a pursuit embedded in our cultural DNA. In his debut solo exhibition, Migrant Memory, at Kalakriti Art Gallery in Hyderabad, Austrian-Sri Lankan artist Raki Nikahetiya explores the dissonance and resilience that migration fosters. Presented in collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum, the exhibition unfolds a deeply personal narrative of displacement, integration, and the fragmented pieces of identity one gathers along the way. His family's escape from Sri Lanka during the civil war of the late 20th century profoundly influences Nikahetiya's art. Migrant Memory is on display until January 5, 2025, at Kalakriti Art Gallery, Banjara Hills.
