This project aims to explore the varied experiences of Sri Lankans living in Singapore using conversation as an art form. The artwork explores the ways people create spaces for themselves within new environments and how they build communities to create a sense of belonging. The objects collected are personal items from the collaborators that serve as reminders of home and comfort and manifest as a museum of conversations with Sri Lankans in Singapore.
