Through the pairing up of an art installation and live performance, artist and globe- trotter, Sandra Gea, explores and questions her own identity from the insights gained from experiencing the cultures and languages that form part of her journey - physical, personal and spiritual. As an extension of her installation, Sandra Gea will be providing two-hour workshops in which the participants will be encouraged to explore the many facets of their own identity in order to unravel the fundamental question of 'Who Am I?' Both installation and workshop will be taking place at St James Cavalier, Valletta. More information: http://kreattivita. org/.
