What Remains by Anushiya Sundaralingam
Thursday 01 - Saturday 31 October
Multidisciplinary artist Anushiya Sundaralingam presents a thought-provoking body of work exploring migration, identity, cultural memory, belonging and resilience.
Originally from Sri Lanka and now based in Belfast, Sundaralingam’s artistic practice is deeply informed by her own experience of migration and the navigation of multiple cultural landscapes. Through painting, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, drawing, installation and performance, she creates layered works that reflect on displacement, adaptation and the complex relationship between people, memory and place.
Her work explores the emotional and physical journeys of migration, considering the uncertainty, resilience and hope that accompany the search for home. Through abstraction, symbolism and material experimentation, Sundaralingam challenges fixed ideas of identity and place, reflecting on how memories and identities can be fragmented, reconstructed and carried across generations and borders.
A graduate of Fine & Applied Arts from the University of Ulster, Sundaralingam has exhibited widely across local and international platforms, with her work held in public and private collections and recognised through numerous awards. Alongside her studio practice, she is also an experienced arts facilitator, working with communities across museums, galleries, schools and hospitals.
Based at Queen Street Studios and Belfast Print Workshop, her evolving practice continues to explore new materials and forms, with recent performance work bringing an immersive dimension to her ongoing investigation of migration, identity and belonging.
Through her work, Sundaralingam invites audiences to reflect on what it means to leave, to belong, and to carry a sense of home with us.
