Radhika Hettiarachchi has worked for 20 years as a researcher, public historian and peacebuilding practitioner.  Based in Sri Lanka, she works through art and oral history, and facilitates dialogue to contribute to a public discourse on issues of gender, security, history, justice and sustainable peace. She is the co-founder of the Herstories project, The Community Memorialisation Project and the Women’s Histories of Sex Work during conflict study, as an extension of her work on women, history and transitional justice. As a curator, some of her work includes the first edition of the travelling history museum – It’s About Time, Colomboscope (2014, co-curated in 2015) and the multi-country online exhibition – Shared Journeys (2021), generally focusing on marginalised histories and their impact on dominant narratives of power.
