Reviewing the Arts: a Conversation between Critics and Artists – 07 Dec 2016
Arts Council Malta is launching a new online conversation, A Global Exchange for Local Action, bringing together local practices with global perspectives. The challenges to creatives and practitioners of the cultural sector over the past year have been accompanied by various opportunities for contact and collaboration unforeseen, or left dormant, before now.
During 2021 Arts Council Malta will be hosting four sessions (February, May, September, November) that will encourage artists, researchers, students of the creative sector and cultural operators to interact with a number of international speakers who will share their views on local realities and global contexts that coalesce while differing, bringing experience and vision to bear on future scenarios.

A closer look at identities of traditions, religions, politics and cultures.
What comes to mind when we think about what drives or disrupts artistic expression ? We are surrounded by institutional structures that have shaped identities over time and arguably forms of expression – whether cultural, social, political or religious – within the arts. We are also partaking in everyday rituals that could have a bearing on what is perceived as artistic or not on a collective and/or individual level. In this session we shall be opening up the discussion to explore and reflect on these themes.
The next KunsillKafè session will discuss links and gaps between learning and entrepreneurship in the arts, with a specific focus on expectations and perceptions. For this session we are inviting all potential participants to submit their thoughts and insights about the title of the session. Your contributions will help shape the discussion, ensuring it is relevant and engaging for everyone involved.
