First hip-hop Graffiti in University history in Sri Lanka

Dominic Chandrasali is the most famous and talented graffiti artist in Sri Lanka who magically creates miracle
fantasies in walls by use of a spray gun. This Graffiti is painted on a wall in the faculty of management studies
of the university by illustrating animation characters in the movie, the BFG which is directed by the world-fa-
mous director, Steven Spielberg. This graffiti has been interpreted from different angles and views as did by
many. Professor Hiniduma Sunil Senavi interpreted this as the need for friendly giants in universities’ system
that can treat Sophies in a kind, warm and lovely way in concerning them as the last in the world. Some have
argued that this would be Dominic’s view to remove the political barrier from the university system to relieve
it by eliminating red-colored dreams. However, as a faculty where critique is welcome, all interpretations are
valued as received. And, this entire university system should be a place for multiple ideologies as the academia
itself is universally open. Faculty of Management Studies as a family will continue to be the place of dream
maker as well as a dream realizer to its customer, the undergraduates providing them not only the theory but
also making them sensitive to the society by art. The BFG, the graffiti of Dominic Chandrasali will be written
in the golden letters in the history of universities in Sri Lanka as the first ever from the kind as of 17th January
2021 under the signature of the artist.
