"This exhibition hopes to echo the sentiments of activists, but here presented through the lens of contemporary art. Each piece brings to the fore the consequences of decades of unregulated human occupation on the island." - Maria Eileen Fsadni in conversation with Ann Dingli
Join exhibition curator, Maria Eileen Fsadni for a tour of the collective exhibition Comino will be Different Next Summer.
The exhibition brings together the works of Joanna Demarco, Lisa Attard, Inigo Taylor, Mario Asef, Sheldon Saliba which are complemented by an excerpt of text written by Daphne Caruana Galizia. Emerging from vastly different artistic disciplines, their work seeks to tell the story of a so-called protected island that has endured decades of disrespect and highlights the calls from civil society to safeguard its natural heritage.
It aims to trigger the question, how will Comino be different next Summer?
