Curated by Justine Balzan Demajo and Francois Zammit, Julinu's Radioactive Ravioli is supported by a Mal- ta Arts Fund Project Support Grant from Arts Council Malta and by Vee Gee Bee Art, San Gwann. It is targeted at anyone aged 16 and above and will be exhibited at Spazju Kreattiv in Valletta from Friday 26 April until Sunday 26 May, with en- trance free of charge. UNTIL SUNDAY 2ND JUNE Exquisite Corpse - I loved you more Maree Azzopardi's new works continue the artist's ongoing engagement with themes of the human body, religious symbol- ism, and the polarities of earth and water. Her photographs act as memorials for the people or places they remember and record. They include personal memories and family narrative and the works explore themes of loss, retrieval, commemora- tion and bearing witness. For the first time, the artist has printed photographs onto linen. These works harness the sym- bolic power of linen in Catholic ritual and iconography, espe- cially altar cloths and the prac- tice of shrouding the dead. The exhibition can be seen at Spazju Kreattiv between 25th April – Sunday 2nd June 2019. maltatoday | SUNDAY • 12 MAY 2019 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Eden Cinema St Julian's Tel. 23 710400 A Dog's Journey (PG) 11:40, 13:55, 16:20, 18:45, 21:10, 23:35 Captain Marvel (12A) 14:30, 18:05, 20:50 Dumbo 2D (PG) 11:45, 13:35, 16:00, 18:25, 20:50 Shazam!
