Memory Map
he Community Memorialization Project (2015-2019) was a story-telling and dialogue initiative that includes an archive of 320 life-history narratives of individuals and groups documented through art-based tools to memorialize people's experiences of conflict in Sri Lanka. Using the archive, the project created opportunities for people-to-people conversations within and between communities in six districts on Sri Lanka's difficult past and its future that we, as citizens, would like to create for the next generation of Sri Lankans.
