rajt ma rajtx… naf li rajt

I/you saw / I/you did not see … I know that I/you saw

The practice for the months between May and September 2021 concerned the development and production of the exhibition rajt ma rajtx… naf li rajt and its parallel project Ħars fuq ħars, which opened on 25th September, 2021 at the non-profit contemporary art space Valletta Contemporary: https://www.vallettacontemporary.com/malta-art-gallery.

​​The solo exhibition rajt ma rajtx… naf li rajt was curated by Elyse Tonna. Elyse is a curator and cultural manager with a background in Cultural Heritage Management (MA) and Architecture (BE&A). Her curatorial practice is primarily related to contemporary art practice, site/context-specific art and community-driven projects. She is the Arts Coordinator of the NGO, ACT, and curator at the Gabriel Caruana Foundation.​
