Purchase a copy of the ‘Second Volume’
‘Second Volume’ is the MMCA Sri Lanka’s first research publication. It is conceived to accompany the exhibition ‘88 Acres: The Watapuluwa Housing Scheme by Minnette De Silva’ (2024), and is endorsed by World Monuments Fund. The book continues the archival process begun by De Silva with her posthumously published autobiography ‘The Life and Work of an Asian Woman Architect Vol. 1’ (1998). Similar in format, this publication in contrast focuses on the Watapuluwa Housing Scheme in Kandy designed by De Silva between 1954–1958. ‘Second Volume’ brings together primary research, new archival materials, and photographs that are being published for the first time.
Purchase a Limited Edition Scarf or Sarong
Introducing a limited edition series of sarongs and scarves created by Selyn and the MMCA Sri Lanka as part of Design for Impact.
These unique hand-crafted fabrics have been inspired by two George Keyt (1901–1993) paintings, and are must-have pieces for all art lovers!
Every purchase helps the Selyn Foundation and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka provide cultural entrepreneurship, leadership development, and financial management skills and opportunities to women.
Design for Impact is a joint initiative of Selyn and the Selyn Foundation, to collaborate with the world’s leading designers, brands, universities, and organisations to raise awareness about, revive, and sustain Sri Lanka’s craft industry, and its artisans who are mainly women.
