Livre - Nisġa

Nisġa: Storja Kontemporanja is an art exhibition that examines the multifaceted identity of the Maltese artist in six chapters. The Maltese word ‘nisġa’ connotes ‘weave’ and much like a piece of cloth, this exhibition is woven out of unusual narratives, connections and relations. Taking as its point of departure the artists featured in the 1991 publication Malta: Six Modern Artists, this exhibition bridges across generations by featuring both works that employ traditional techniques as well as those which incorporate modern media. Set in a carefully curated space, the exhibition explores the persona of the Maltese artist, while also illuminating Malta’s connections to European and international art narratives.
