These works were part of the exhibition Possible Worlds, a Spazju Kreattiv commission in collaboration with ŻiguŻajg Festival and Arts Council Malta designed to introduce children to art addressing the climate crisis. It was exhibited in Valletta from 4 November to 10 December 2023. I was asked to contribute a piece to the exhibition and subsequently asked by the curator if I would provide a background for exhibition text and interactive elements.

These murals were painted over the course of a week inside Spazju Kreattiv, a contemporary art museum in Valletta, Malta. The pieces served as backgrounds for wall text and interactive exhibition elements. They aimed to familiarise visitors with common Maltese wildflowers, presenting them larger-than-life and glamourised to increase appreciation and offer an alternative view of flowers that are easily overlooked.

“Through a year long process of workshops, audit and presentations, the Valletta community…is vocalising their concerns to resonate with the general public, in an attempt to empower and strengthen their position in society, by means of this artistic process.“
The organizer of Vucijiet Beltin commissioned me to design sets for a play written by primary school students and directed by a local theatre troupe. The backdrops showed recognizable places in Valletta and were designed to reflect both the children’s visual language (established during my Lost Paper City workshop) and the city’s urban vernacular.
The set designs were used during the performance of Kaju as part of Science in the City in September 2023. They were then exhibited at Spazju Kreattiv as part of Possible Worlds, solidifying a collaboration between local organizations and inspiring a workshop on upcycled theatre costume design.
