Atawaka in Kandy
  Alliance française de Kandy is not only a centre for teaching of
French language. This institution is also deeply committed to organize
cultural events, giving priority to young artists who, most of the time,
don't have the opportunity to display their talents and to get access to
the public.
It was the case recently with the annual Art Week that included a
two-day workshop for 30 students. It is the case with ATAWAKA - an
Exhibition of photographs proposed by the Second year Undergraduates
(special degree course) of the drama and theatre and image arts Unit of
the University of Kelaniya.
In November 2002, Alliance française de Kandy started this annual
program on Photography, Kandy Alliance Photo, which intends to be an
echo of the events occurring at the same period of the year in Paris,
Paris Photo. Till now 14 photographers have been selected and have
displayed their works in this program: 4 French, 1 American and 9 Sri
Lankan.
Kandy Alliance Photo 2011 welcomes eight talented artists who will
exhibit their works from November 25 to December 5. The exhibition will
be declared open by Prof. Ashley Halpé.
