The French Embassy to Sri Lanka and the Maldives and the Alliance Française de Colombo is holding an international photography project by the French photographer Emilien Buffrad, Sport Friendly until 20 July at Alliance Française de Colombo 11, Barnes Place, Colombo 7.
The Field of Diversity that seeks to redefine the classic values of sport, affirming that, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, gender or physical or social condition, there is a place for everyone in the realm of sports.
France this year is the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and 16 other cities.
The exhibition portrays the SeaSisters, a group of local female surfers based in Weligama in Sri Lanka, whose initiative is to break the boundaries set by their backgrounds, society and the surfing eco-system by empowering local women and girls to swim and surf.
Through the creative collaboration of Munira Mutaher, a female Sri Lankan art/ humanitarian photographer, the homogeneous photographic portraits of the SeaSisters were the submission from Sri Lankan to this global photographic project.
The exhibition will show 15 photographs, each accompanied with a written testimony.
