From July 27 to August 12, 2012, a group of electronic musicians and sound artists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Germany, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka came together for two weeks of creative exchange on Ruskin Island, Sri Lanka.
The gathering aimed to share knowledge and ideas, foster collaboration, and build lasting connections. Sri Lanka was chosen as the location because it was the only country where participants from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India could all obtain visas.
The results of their musical collaborations were showcased at the Pettah Interchange in Colombo in 2012. In the years that followed, Pettah Interchange grew into an influential independent festival and became a key space for Sri Lanka’s electronic underground scene.
Soundcamp is organized in cooperation with Goethe-Institut Delhi, Goethe Institute Colombo.
