he Mahalla Festival will take place in Malta between Nov 17 - 25
Towards the end of 2018 the Mahalla Festival invites local and international artists and initiatives to show concern and contribute artistic positions regarding the international migration moves.
We believe that the topics have to be seen in a global con
text, discussing the triggers of migration and the problems of inclusion. The Festival aims to show the potential migration has through strong artistic works.
A Festival of film, literature, contemporary art, debates
and several activities combining events that invite local and international participants to mobilize visitors to explore communities under new aspects.
The Festival is located in venues around Valletta, St. Lucija and Zabbar in Malta.

Exhibition in Palazzo Zabbar:
An unconverted Palazzo in Zabbar is serving as a venue for site specific interventions. After having been the home of a noble family the Palazzo served as a police station and was partly burned down during the anti-colonial uprisings in the 1958. Some locals still have personal memories. Later the Palazzo served as a depot for one local band-club. Today it is for sale awaiting a new destiny.
