The Photographic Society of Sri Lanka (PSSL) proudly announces the grand reopening of Sri Lanka’s only public darkroom, located at the Lionel Wendt Memorial Art Centre. This milestone event took place on August 17, 2024, marking a significant revival of traditional photographic processes in the very location where legendary photographer and artist Lionel Wendt once had his own darkroom.
This revitalized space is now open to all analog photography enthusiasts who wish to develop their film using authentic, hands-on techniques. Soon, it will also offer manual printing facilities, further enhancing the experience for those who appreciate the art and craft of analog photography.
The re-establishment of this darkroom not only honors Wendt’s legacy but also brings together a community of photographers, artists, and creatives who are passionate about film photography. Whether you are a seasoned film photographer or just beginning to explore the world of analog photography, this space is designed for you.
With this darkroom, PSSL continues to foster a vibrant space for creativity, learning, and collaboration, providing a place for photographers to create, develop, and immerse themselves in the art of analog photography. Don’t miss out on this chance to explore and develop your craft at a facility that stand as a tribute to both the past and the future of Sri Lankan photography.
