- **Event Description**: Visit Pala Pothupitiya's studio and art centre as part of Open House Colombo 2026.About this EventPala Pothupitiye works across different media to explore themes such as colonialism, nationalism, religious extremism, militarism, and questions of caste. Raised in a family of traditional southern Sri Lankan craft-artists and ritualists, his work incorporates and reinterprets the material and philosophical content of traditional art. His work also looks at the distinction between art and craft, tradition and modernity, and Eurocentrism critique. He is particularly known for his work with maps.Pothupitiye was a founding member of Theertha International Artists Collective, a progressive artists-led initiative based in Colombo. He also founded the Mullegama Art Centre in 2011 to support younger artists and schoolchildren in the area through art workshops, English language classes, and an art school. After winning the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2010, Pothupitiye used the prize to purchase land in Athurugiriya for the Art Centre.  Pala’s studio within the premises was designed by Madura Prematilleke and Laki Senanayke in 2014 as an experiment in minimal concrete and metal. Half of the income from Pala’s art practice goes into further development of the Art Centre and community projects. Madura Prematilleke recently designed another building on site, which houses an artist residency space on the ground floor, and a studio space for Pothupitiye’s partner, artist Priyanthi Anusha, on the first floor. In 2025, Pothupitiya launched Millennium Art Contemporary (MiAC), a few kilometres from the Art Centre. As a dedicated platform for non-commercial contemporary art, MiAC focuses on innovation, research, and community engagement by supporting emerging and established artists across diverse mediums through curated exhibitions, artist residencies, workshops, and educational initiatives. Address: 132/2, J.

To improve the information available on these five architects in the digital sphere, a Wiki-edit-a-thon will be hosted at the De Saram House by Geoffrey Bawa, followed by an Open House Colombo event to visit and experience some of their key buildings. The programme ends with a series of workshops and a public exhibition of reinterpretations or analyses of these buildings through architectural model making. Stay tuned for updates!"
