Gaweshana is a contemporary concert tour that invites audiences to engage with pressing social, political, and geographical issues through music. Blending free improvisation with traditional and ritual music practices, the project creates an evolving, reflective experience rooted in exploration and dialogue. Themes such as deforestation, sound pollution, human–animal conflict, and the impact of human activity on nature are addressed in ways that resonate with each audience's local context. Gaweshana aims to spark meaningful conversations and deepen public understanding of societal challenges, while also inspiring artists to explore new creative horizons. By weaving together the rich cultural traditions of Sri Lanka with global artistic perspectives, the project aspires to take Sri Lankan music to international platforms—showcasing its depth, diversity, and relevance on the world stage.
