The Dialogue and Civic Engagement Fellowship was an attempt at offering cultural practitioners from Eastern, Northern, and Uva Provinces an opportunity to explore arts-based programming, community engagement, and the inclusion of art in difficult conversations through public pedagogical approaches.
As part of their training, the three Fellows Bavaneedha Loganathan, Thamilini Siththiravadivel, and Kalyani Suntharalingam took part in the exhibition production process and learned its intricacies.
Having spoken to the three artists about their creative processes, the Fellows were able to have conversations on other artworks on display in ‘Total Landscaping’. They were also able to meet and learn from a variety of industry professionals such as project managers, programme curators, art writers, and exhibition designers.
