Kaushalya Nandasena

Grew up in rural Polonnaruwa and, after graduating from the University of Kelaniya, returned to her village to give back to the community. In the past two years, she organized two photography exhibitions with local school children and started a photo story series documenting the village’s history by interviewing its earliest residents.

Her photography also highlights the human-elephant conflict to raise public awareness and advocate for solutions.
