How do homes remembered, lost, or reimagined shape who we become?

Ripple Sail for Reconciliation brings together artists and thinkers to explore memory, domestic space, and lived histories as sites of healing and continuity across South Asia and its diasporas.

Moderated by Puja Vaish, curator and writer engaging with contemporary art and cross-cultural dialogue.

Featuring Hasini Haputhanthri, whose research explores archives, migration, and intergenerational memory; Gopa Trivedi, working with traditional knowledge systems, natural pigments, and ecology-rooted practices; Hamra Abbas, whose work interrogates belief systems, identity, and political histories; and Pradeep Thalawatta, reflecting on home, displacement, and socio-political realities through lived experience.

Join a conversation that reconsiders the past as a living force shaping the future.
