BEYOND WHAT DRIFTS US APART
is an interdisciplinary site-specific project developed and curated by Elyse Tonna which attempts to uncover the less dominant narratives associated with the environments surrounding historic coastal towers and the consequent relationships between the impacted landscapes and non-human communities. In 2023, the project will centre within and around the Qalet Marku Tower in Baħar ic-Caghaq in Malta, taking advantage of the relationship between them, and the rich ecosystems around them.
Beyond What Drifts Us Apart is a collaborative event of the Istanbul-based Mahalla Festival organized by the cultural organization Diyalog and Malta-based Unfinished Art Space, including site-specific artistic interventions, artists residencies and community-oriented activities.
MagiC CARPETS
Beyond What Drifts Us Apart in Malta 2023 is taking place in cooperation with the MagiC Carpets network. MagiC Carpets is a Creative Europe platform uniting 21 European cultural organizations that create opportunities for emerging artists to embark on journeys to unknown lands and to create, together with local artists and local communities, new works that highlight local specificities.
The emerging artists Samuel Ciantar (MT), Fernando P Ferreira (PT), Marija Rasa Kudabaite (LT) and Rakel Vella (MT) are participating in Beyond What Drifts Us Apart in the frame of the MagiC Carpets Network.
