'Stories of Mullivaikkaal' documentation project launched by Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research
02 Jun 2017
The Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research (ACPR) launched “Stories of
Mullivaikaal,” the first series in ACPR’s “Stories of Resilience”
project at www.storiesofresilience.com.
The project will document stories of resilience and agency, highlighting
narratives other than victimhood within Tamil community, who have
exhibited diverse forms of resilience through various stages of Sri
Lanka’s unresolved ethnic conflict.
See full press release below:
Today the Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research (ACPR) launched “Stories
of Mullivaikkaal”, the first series in ACPR’s “Stories of Resilience”
project at www.storiesofresilience.com.
‘Stories of Mullivaikkaal’ is launched in commemoration of all those who
lost their lives in the last phase of the armed conflict. The stories
featured present alternative narratives from survivors of Mullivaikkaal
which does not narrow their lived experiences to helpless victimhood but
rather promotes and accepts their agency.
“We feel that in trying to come to terms with the horrific atrocities
committed during the armed conflict and re-shape the collective Tamil
identity, it is important for the focus to not be narrowed just to
victimhood,” said Senior Researcher for ACPR, Dharsha Jegatheeswaran.
“Memorialisation must also include documenting narratives of the
conflict that give credit to survivors’ agency and resilience, and the
incredible strength exhibited by countless Tamil civilians during the
last phase of the war.”
Stories will continue to be added to the ‘Stories of Mullivaikkaal’
series over the next three months, and then a short print volume with
the stories will be published at the end of August in English and Tamil.
‘Stories of Mullivaikkaal’ is part of a bigger project ACPR is embarking
on entitled ‘Stories of Resilience’ which aims to document and share
stories of strength, courage and resilience of Tamil civilians before,
during and after the armed conflict.
