✨ The Sister Library at the Colombo Public Library presents a vibrant programme of reading sessions, workshops, and discussions. In addition, film screenings will take place at both the Goethe-Institut and the Alliance Française de Colombo. We warmly invite you to explore the collection and engage with Sister Library in the lobby of the Colombo Public Library until the end of November.
🌿 Founded by aqui Thami, Sister Library is an evolving, generative artwork that celebrates women’s contributions to literature, art, and zine culture. It fosters inclusive community engagement and invites deeper reflection on the visual and reading cultures of our time.
