About the Artist
Anushiya Sundaralingam is a multi-disciplinary artist from Sri Lanka who has lived through the conflict in her homeland. She explores themes of displacement, migration, and the diaspora experience. Although she wasn't forced to leave, the impact of the civil war that began in July 1983 deeply influences her work. Having relocated to Belfast in 1995, she has created art that reflects the complexity of belonging, identity, and cultural transition.
