Colombo Art Biennale

SRI LANKA - Colombo

Annoushka was born in London where she attended the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London where she studied History of Art and Social Anthropology and achieved her BA Honours. She continued her love of the arts working with contemporary artists in London whilst researching for a book on African Art. Her work experience, then, led her to public relations and event management. Annoushka moved to Sri Lanka with her family nearly ten years ago when she set up and managed the first Art Gallery in Galle showcasing contemporary Sri Lankan artists. Subsequently, she founded the Colombo Art Biennale with Jagath Weerasinghe and directed the very first South Asian Art Biennale �Imagining Peace� in 2009, collaborating with leading local curators, artists and art historians. �Imagining Peace� successfully showcased the works of both established and emerging Sri Lankan artists alongside international artists, provoking the notion of artists as catalysts of change.
