Moores Building Art Space | Fifty Thousand Years Or For As Long As We Remember

A sensory installation by Raki Nikahetiya, a Sri Lankan-born, Austria-raised artist whose practice bridges artisanal craft, experimental photography, and land-based installation. Shaped by his experience of displacement during civil war, Nikahetiya’s work explores questions of home, identity, and collective memory.

In this exhibition, audiences are invited into intimate, multi-sensory encounters with the idea of home. Touch, sound, objects, and story converge to map a tactile and emotional landscape. At its centre are the voices of eight protagonists who call these lands home.

They offer quiet yet powerful reflections on what it means to leave, to return, and to belong. Each shares a mundane, yet deeply significant memory — fragments that the artist carefully gathers and weaves into the spatial fabric of the installation. Here, objects act as witnesses, and presence becomes a form of honouring the layered histories held in land and lineage.
