Who we are

In 2021 we established the SpaceEka Residency, an artists’ residency in Maharagama, Colombo.  As a group of artists coming from various artistic backgrounds, ethnicities, and genders we understood the importance of an artist having a safe and respected space to live, share knowledge, and most importantly to create art while surviving all the challenging situations that come our way.
