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?'

EXHIBITIONS JANUARY 15-FEBRUARY 14 iMprint iMprint is an exhibition by contemporary painters and artists based in Malta, collectively exploring the various techniques of printmaking used by old masters, taking place at St James Cavalier, Valletta. Throughout the ages, the printing technique has often been employed by most artists since it allows multiple copies to be obtained, while simultaneously giving space for experimentation between one print and the next. The project will furthermore see the launch of the setting up of a Fine Art Printmakers Association, formed to endorse and encourage a professional approach in the organisation of such events as well as in the practice of this artistic skill. JANUARY 15-FEBRUARY 29 Mediterranean Peace Donkey - Gozo The first exhibition in the ancient Citadel's recently restored Culture Centre in collaboration with the Gozo Culture Office. The Mediterranean Peace Donkey project is a peacebuilding exhibition of 21 life-sized fiberglass 'Maltese' donkeys painted by premier Gozitan, Maltese, Egyptian and Western artists symbolizing the need for peace and compassion between the Middle East and West, and more specifically throughout the Mediterranean Basin (i.e. a donkey for each of the 21 Mediterranean nations).
