Wave Makers are the volunteers who originated to support Galway 2020 events.
During the early 2021 lockdown in Ireland, 30 Wave Makers took part in a photo project - the 5K Perspective - guided by Galway-based photographer Avi Ratnayake. The aim of the project was to capture the environment available to us within the 5Km limit, a restricted space yet one that can harness creativity. All the Wave Makers submitted 3 pictures each and titled them. This was followed by a selection of the winner and a small online awards workshop with the photographer.
Once some restrictions were lifted, we hosted a public exhibition in Galway city centre with the printed version of the 30 pictures. Below you can find 10 of these pictures, with title and name of the respective Wave Maker.

Avi RatnayakeSri Lankan born, Avi Ratnayake emigrated to the UK in 1994. He is now based in Galway, and has been practicing as an artist and photographer since 2003 and had exhibitions in both UK and Ireland. His work has taken him through digital to analogue. Most of his work looks at liminal spaces between cultures or other intersection between disparate bodies, often finding his subjects in making portraits.
Outside of his practice, he’s engaged with marginalised communities in photographing the events and the individuals involved. However, his latest work involves cyanotypes, experimenting with lensless photographic chemistry combined with digital photography. website |
