I’m glad to share my recent article, Fugitive Sites: Tamil Memorialization in Post-War Sri Lanka, published in Journal of Visual and Performing Arts (JOVPA-SL).
In this piece, I reflect on how performance can become a space for memory in contexts where mourning is heavily policed. The article takes as its starting point a devised performance, Strangers in the Night, and the discussions that unfolded around it in Tamil-majority regions during Maaveerar Naal (Remembrance Day). What interested me was how these moments, often fleeting, embodied, and emotionally charged, function as what I call “fugitive sites” of memorialization. They are unstable and risky, but they allow memory to persist in embodied ways that resist the state archive.

#SriLanka's ongoing #energy crisis is not new & painfully familiar to its people — stuck in a cycle of structural inefficiencies & fossil fuel dependency while its #climate risk worsens. #Lka must work towards a genuine shift to renewables. @ClimateRights

So much sadness and nostalgia for the first place I learned to tell stories, #RoarMedia. All of the learning and training from, and collaborating with amazing people ❤️
We are not done storytelling!
And then there was @Sakeena_R. We worked on several projects, especially during COVID. So many unfinished story projects. Our work is not done yet, right Razick? archive.roar.media/english/l…

Ineffably moved by South Africa’s moral clarity as a nation. That there are still lawyers and lawmakers among us who see injustice and want to use their voice, mettle and power to call it out — and try to put an end to it — feels like the jolt of resolve we all need. #ICJ – at Pasay City, National Capital Region

Hello again Twitter! Here’s more of that very dangerous pseudo-nationalist & faux post-colonial rhetoric that 🇱🇰 governments have been exploiting for decades now to avoid truth & justice. In fact I wrote an undergrad thesis on misapplications of these frames over TEN years ago…

Also why claims such as "things are better", "stability is key" merit a liberal dose of scepticism

"Wickremesinghe’s current appointment is seen as a last-ditch attempt to bring about political stability after the main opposition parties refused to go against the central demand of the protestors," writes @yolanifernando about 🇱🇰.

✈️It is reported that President #Rajapaksa has left #SriLanka this morning and people expect his resignation will be announced today (13th).
❔What next, if President Rajapksa resigns today?
