Geoffrey Bawa

💭 Join us for a tour that explores the question of how we know what we know.

🔎 Through the lens of the Lunuganga garden, 'Ways of Knowing' brings together works by Clara Kraft Isono, Barbara Sansoni, and Ruvin de Silva, alongside objects from the Geoffrey Bawa Collection, to explore how we learn from the world around us. This multi-sensory exhibition spans virtual reality, film, textiles, seeds, maps, and oral traditions—inviting visitors to look, listen, touch, and move.
