public.project.abstract

The project focuses on Tamil youth in the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war (1983-2009). In this post-war context, the project seeks to grasp how youth remember and cope with the tragic past, and try to build their life while facing ongoing discrimination against the Tamil community.
