AgX welcomes Los Angeles based, Sri Lankan artist and filmmaker, Rajee Samarasinghe for an evening of internationally acclaimed, formally adventurous short films, made digitally and on film, that explore the terrain of memory, migration, and impermanence.

Rajee Samarasinghe was born and raised amidst the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka. He later left for the United States where he is now based. He received his BFA from the University of California San Diego and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. Much of his work examines sociopolitical conditions in Sri Lanka through the scope of deconstructing ethnographic practices and the colonial gaze in contemporary media. His practice was born out of a desire to understand the circumstances around his childhood. www.rajeesamarasinghe.com
