#Repost @artsouthasiaproject ・・・ For the third and final grant of 2023-24, ASAP is proud to be supporting The Geoffrey Bawa Trust @geoffreybawatrust in Sri Lanka in our archiving division, for the project, "Botany and Batik: the Living Archives of Ena de Silva". The Geoffrey Bawa Trust is a non-profit, public trust established in 1982 by the late architect, with the objectives of furthering the fields of Architecture, the Fine Arts and Ecological and Environmental Studies. Since 2003, the Trust has sustained year-round public programmes comprising lectures, educational tours, scholarships, residencies, and exhibitions which engage broader discourse on the built environment, the arts, and ecology in both Sri Lanka and overseas. Botany and Batik: the Living Archives of Ena de Silva is an archival project and installation which explores the relationship between Ena de Silva’s explorations, observations, and collections as a naturalist and her Batik practice, a collective enterprise with a radically inventive approach to the traditional craft of Batik. Initially, Ena’s preserved botanical specimens from her extensive travels in Sri Lanka’s forests, her important library supplementing this collection and the Ena de Silva Foundation’s collection of batik works that are inspired from these botanical explorations will be archived and catalogued. The Ena de Silva Foundation will be a key collaborator with the Trust on this project, and Pramod Kumar, Managing Director of Eka Resources, will provide mentorship on the textile conservation aspects of this project. @shayaridesilva @shinycycles @ekaarcindia To find out more please go to the link in our bio! #artsouthasiaproject #asap #bangladesh #india #nepal #pakistan #srilanka #southasianart #southasia #london #arteducation #artsdevelopment #grants #visualarts #research #archiving #publication #professionaldevelopment #artists #curating #geoffreybawa #lunugangaeoffreybawa #geoffreybawaarchives #geoffreybawatrust #enadesilva #geoffreybawacollections #shayaridesilva
