This study examines Sinhala Wal Chithra Katha (wall murals and narrative wall paintings) produced and circulated between 2021 and 2024, focusing on thematic shifts, visual language, and socio-political roles. Through a mixed-methods approach—visual content analysis of 120 murals collected from urban and rural Sri Lankan sites, semi-structured interviews with 18 artists and community members, and contextual archival research—the paper identifies three major trends: (1) a resurgence of folklore and religious motifs blended with contemporary social commentary; (2) increased use of digital-native aesthetics and hybrid media resulting from pandemic-era constraints; and (3) murals functioning as community memory devices and political expression during periods of civil unrest and economic crisis. The study discusses stylistic markers (color palettes, iconography, composition), production practices (collective vs. commissioned work), and reception practices (social media dissemination, local festivals). Implications include how mural practices mediate collective identity and the potential for public art to archive rapid social change.
