Art Trail by ARTRA at the Galle Literary Festival (Feb 6-9) will host a series of Art Exhibitions, Art Walks and Meet the Artist sessions alongside the launch of ARTRA Magazine’s South Asian Contemporary Art Edition 68 (2025).

The programme will feature revered contemporary artists from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh including Ali Kazim, Tayeba Begum Lipi and Anoli Perera whose works are part of seminal collections around the world including the Tate, Qatar Museums and Guggenheim. Art Trail will also feature the works of Pushpakumara Koralagedara, key contemporary artist in Sri Lanka’s 90s trend art movement addressing the brutality of the civil war – a parallel reading to political cartoonist Gihan de Chickera’s segment on comics and satirical drawings.

Additionally, emerging artists Rajani Serasinghe and Kopalapillai Mathiskumar in their respective mediums of mosaic, sculpture and mixed media explore rapture and ruin whilst the photography of Anush Wijesinha, Nishan Perera and the Streets of Colombo Collective craft and critique natural and urban landscapes framing the artistic multitudes of Art Trail 2025.
