About
Pettah Interchange is a celebration of alternative music, art and culture, that has taken place annually since 2012 in abandoned and neglected urban spaces in Colombo. Initiated by the Goethe-Institut and its electronic music web-platform Border Movement, the first edition of Pettah Interchange served as a showcase for material composed by musicians from Germany and the south Asian region during the an artist residency that took place in the outskirts of Colombo in July 2012. Over the last five years, Pettah Interchange has taken place within the walls of crumbling colonial buildings, grubby market-places and abandoned Cinema Halls.

The venue for the fifth edition of Pettah Interchange is a presently abandoned colonial building that has stood for over 100 years in the heart of Colombo. The Transworks House, which originally housed the Ceylon Public Works Department and later served as Fort Police headquarters, is one of the last remaining buildings of its kind in the area left in a neglected state, though it will soon be renovated to serve as the entrance and lobby to the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
