A symposium examining Malta’s artistic sector is coming to the Valletta Campus Theatre of the University of Malta.

‘State of the Arts – Malta National Symposium’, which will be held between 26th and 27th October, is the first symposium being held with the aim to discuss issues that artists and creative practitioners face in light of local and global challenges.

 

The symposium will explore several themes outlined in the recently published Strategy 2025 through a number of keynotes, panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities with international and local artists.

These themes include the working conditions of artists, artistic freedom and expression, arts and sustainable development, and cultural rights, amongst others.

“This symposium is a unique opportunity for us to critically examine the artistic sectors in Malta, particularly in light of the challenging global realities that inevitably shape artistic practice in Malta” said Arts Council Malta’s Director-Funding and Strategy Mary Ann Cauchi.

This reflects the government’s vision for Malta’s artistic sector as an important pillar for the country’s social and economic development,” Minister for the National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government Owen Bonnici said.

Bonnici also emphasised that this symposium will further strengthen dialogue among all the stakeholders involved in this sector.

 

Keynote speakers include Professor Milena Dragićević Šešić, Shain Shapiro and Sara Whyatt.

Registrations for the symposium are open and interested attendees may register at maltaartssymposium.com. Reduced rates are available for students, older adults and representatives from NGOs and voluntary organisations. More information on the symposium, including the full programme, is available at maltaartssymposium.com.
