Refugee Week Malta
RWM 2025 marks the festival's fourth year, building upon the success of previous editions with a deepened commitment to inclusivity and community engagement. Central to the festival’s development for 2025, is the establishment of an Advisory Group, composed of individuals with lived experiences of displacement in Malta, as well as representatives from organisations working in migration, arts, and culture. This group will play a crucial role in guiding the festival’s direction, ensuring it remains representative of and responsive to the community it serves.
Silent Voices
CONNECTING SILENT VOICES is an international collaboration involving Italy, Malta, Bulgaria, and Kosovo, focused on the marginalization and exploitation of women in the sex industry. Through dance, workshops, debates, and community workshops, the project aims to raise awareness and empower communities around this often-overlooked issue. At its core is the SILENT VOICES performance, rooted in a five-year research initiative titled 5 VOICES FOR 1, led by Biloura Arts Collective
Decolonisation: The Story of All of Us
"Decolonisation: The Story of All of Us" is a project exploring Malta's colonial legacy and its influence on contemporary Maltese identity within Europe. Over three weeks, nine European artists will engage in Somatic Performative Research to study decolonization from various academic angles. The project examines collective memory, identity politics, and the intersection of European and African identities. Through critical thinking and Donna Haraway's "Situated Knowledge," it challenges participants to question whose stories are told. The residency includes academic training and concludes with a public artivist production to spark dialogue on decolonization and migration.
