Favourite International and Austrade proudly hosted the exclusive launch of Edenvale alcohol-removed wines from Australia at the Radisson Hotel, Colombo.

The exciting event, which was graced by the presence of H.E. Paul Stephens, the High Commissioner of Australia for Sri Lanka and the Maldives, unveiled Edenvale's innovative and sophisticated range of fruity alcohol removed wines.

Edenvale has the taste and full complexity of regular alcoholic wine, without the alcohol. Delicate alcohol extraction technology is used to ensure varietal definition and flavours are retained in the finished product so consumers can still enjoy a wine experience without the effect of alcohol.

Edenvale wines are included in the ‘functional food’ and lifestyle category of food and beverages.

Artists Honour Minnette De Silva & Legacy at the Watapuluwa Housing Scheme The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka (MMCA Sri Lanka) exhibition titled ‘88
Acres: The Watapuluwa Housing Scheme by Minnette De Silva’ is the MMCA Sri Lanka’s first solo exhibition, and looks at the Watapuluwa Housing Scheme and the pioneering work of Sri
Lankan architect Minnette De Silva (1918–1998).

The exhibition focuses on the Watapuluwa Housing Scheme in Kandy, designed by De Silva and opened in 1958.

The Scheme heralded a new form of social housing in Sri Lanka, and was notably created with the participation of its users. ‘88 Acres’ explores how this sprawling hillside development was ahead of its time in providing affordable accommodation for a diverse ethno- religious community of government public servants in Sri Lanka.

Alongside a specially commissioned artists’ film titled ‘Is this an architectural documentary?’ (2023) by Irushi Tennekoon (b. 1989), Sumedha Kelegama (b. 1988), and Sumudu Athukorala (b. 1980), ‘88 Acres’ looks back at the Scheme 65 years later to consider De Silva’s influences and the challenges of her design approach.

The Order of Nature and Q***r Histories at Lunuganga
Architect Geoffrey Bawa is widely known for designing buildings including the Sri Lankan Parliament and multiple institutions.

The ways of inhabiting these spaces made Bawa’s personal garden, Lunuganga, all the more striking as a place that encouraged limitless self-expression from both an architectural and
personal standpoint.

The Order of Nature is an ongoing project at Lunuganga curated by Geoffrey Bawa Trust Senior Design and Communications Manager Thilini Perera. An exploration of “the other,” it examines the garden as a site of creative incubation and unconventional design choices.

The curatorial project directly challenges Article 365 of the discriminatory colonial Penal Code—first enacted in 1883 and which remains an impediment to the LGBTQIA+ community in Sri Lanka—by interrogating what is considered “normal” or “natural.”
