The curators of ‘Archive of Memory’, Dr. Malathi De Alwis and Hasini Haputhanthri selected 70 individual narratives that seek to explore post-independence Sri Lanka from 1948-2018.
According to the article, ‘Archive of Memory’ looks at this particular historical trajectory through the eyes of different individuals. The selected 70 storytellers are “representative of the multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-lingual melting pot that is Sri Lanka…[who] spanned a vast array of professions from artists and activists to diplomats and domestic aides to soldiers and sex workers to teachers and tailors.”
