The project, started by students Sindhu and Sagi based in Europe, saw dozens of artists send in pieces to commemorate the thousands of Tamils who were killed in Mullivaikaal, the site of the Sri Lankan government's final onslaught during the end stages of the armed conflict in May 2009.

We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.
