Join us at Blitz contemporary arts space in Valletta (68, St Lucy Str.) on 28 March at 6.30pm for an ACMlab session organised by ACM in collaboration with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ. We are hosting a panel discussion investigating concrete opportunities and recommendations relating to inclusivity and how young creatives can find their space in the arts.
We are seeking voices that have not been heard, to engage them in dialogue aimed at achieving greater equity and sustainability and more inclusive growth in cultural life.
Listen to experiences of personalities actively engaged in the arts, share your ideas with other artists and cultural operators, and join us for drinks.
Entities joining us at the ACMlab will include:
- Aġenzija Żgħażagħ: Maria Borg
- Design Cluster: Caldon Mercieca
- Naqsam il-MUŻA: Kristina Borg
Naqsam il-MUŻA is a collaboration between MUŻA and Valletta 2018 Foundation.
This session will be held on 28 March at 6.30pm at Blitz, Valletta.
