ARTIST BACKGROUND
Ushara Dilrukshan is a London based, Sri Lankan multi-media performance artist. With a background in classical music and structural engineering she works between boundaries carving journeys.
Her works tackle ideas of identity, womanhood and trauma explored through narratives. The work aims to open up questions and start discussions about experiences of similar narratives and journeys through life.
As an interdisciplinary artist, sound and performance are a centralised form. Utilising poetry, field recordings, body and soul; further explored through video installation, publication and noise opera, she offers an insight into these themes.
‘The trauma of the past permeates my being like the scenes of roses clinging to the fabric of my memory, a haunting reminder of what was taken and what remains’ Anais Niin.
