4 young artists in Sri Lanka respond, through their art, and are shaped by the zeitgeist of a country in conflict and a society in turmoil. Through their work, audiences enjoy and appreciate a new approach to art, one that reveals reality and questions issues of identity – aspects of a fractured society longing for change.

Located at the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Groundviews is a citizen journalism website that uses a range of genres and media to highlight critical perspectives on governance, reconciliation, human rights, the arts and literature, democracy and other issues. The site has won two international awards, including the prestigious Manthan Award South Asia in 2009. The grand jury's evaluation of the site noted, "What no media dares to report, Groundviews publicly exposes. It's a new age media for a new Sri Lanka... Free media at it's very best!"
