The latest exhibition by artist Prasad Hettiarachchi, “Stories Within Stories,” at the Barefoot Gallery is open to the public until January 5.
This exhibition invites visitors to explore the intricate web of narratives that exist within larger tales. In our engagement with grand narratives, it’s easy to overlook the minor stories that contribute to the overall picture. Hettiarachchi’s work emphasises the importance of these often-ignored narratives, encouraging viewers to closely observe and magnify their micro-roots to gain a deeper understanding of the grand narrative’s foundation, direction, and ultimate destiny.

Through this lens, the exhibition illuminates the essence and insights that minor narratives provide, enriching our comprehension of the grand narrative itself. It highlights the mutual relationship between these intertwined stories, drawing us nearer to a profound reality.
Visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in this thought-provoking exhibition, where art becomes a vehicle for reflection and discovery.
