Slave Island-based artist Firi Rahman started a visual project portraying the people that make up the unique neighbourhood. His wall murals feature people from the community: sportspeople, street vendors, mechanics, musicians, actors and artists. Slave Island is often perceived as an area filled with criminals, drug dealers and danger. It is also a place that is fast changing and disappearing, being swallowed up by the rapidly “modernising” Colombo. #WeAreFromHere showcases the true spirit of Slave Island: a fascinating, unique and diverse place.
