Little Operations: Merinda Dias-Jayasinha

Merinda Dias-Jayasinha was the 2023 Little Operations Artist.

Throughout her residency, Merinda explored themes of identity, race, and memory, drawing on her and her sisters' different experiences of the world. Building upon previous works The grey area and The blue area, she extended her artistic practice through sound and visual elements. This development marked another step towards articulating and unravelling her identity, contributing to how she continues to understand and proudly hold her heritage.

In April 2024, Merinda held an intimate showing where guests enjoyed a beautifully cooked meal and contributed to the performance.
