Bodyscapes was a curated exhibition organized as part of the Curatorial Practice course by Level IV Art History students of the Department of Fine Arts, University of Jaffna. Curated by K. Kajanan, Pavulin Henry Jeron, Sumaiya Saneer, Fasthin Fathima Infasa, Nusha Lahir, and Dilaksika Jeyakkodi under the curatorial guidance of S. Kirubalini, the exhibition brought together works by artists from the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka. Rather than presenting the body merely as a physical form, the exhibition explored the body as a site of identity, violence, memory, and lived experience, while examining how artists imagine the body and landscape as inseparable spaces shaped by history, conflict, and belonging. The exhibition was held from 3–6 June 2026 at the Art Gallery, Department of Fine Arts, University of Jaffna.
