Art in Malta

A CATHEDRAL contemporary art biennale in #Malta runs from November 13 to January 7 in the medieval walled city of Mdina. 

Set against the backdrop of the city’s baroque architecture – evident in its winding streets, palaces, chapels – it will feature works of art by artists from different cultural backgrounds are displayed together under one central theme: ‘Christianity, Spirituality and the Other’ … the ‘Other' standing for faith and non-faith, belief and nonbelief, theist and atheist, agnostic and polytheist.

Launching just days ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, hosted by Malta, the biennale will be a cultural focus for the country, an island state in the Mediterranean that has historically served as a bridge between North Africa and Europe.

It will open with a classical concert by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra in Mdina’s cathedral. A series of concerts, performances, seminars, and lectures will run throughout the biennale.
