Il-kultura hija estensjoni tal-identita’ ta’ nazzjon. Il-Kapitali tagħna, il-Belt Valletta, hija mimlija postijiet storiċi u xogħlijiet artistiċi li jirrappreżentaw l-identita’ kulturali tagħna li kull ma jmur dejjem tevolvi. L-atmosfera fil-Belt Valletta inbidlet b’mod sinifikanti matul l-aħħar snin, u l-popolarità tagħha żdiedet kemm fost it-turisti u anke l-Maltin.

Inħossni kburi nippreżenta dan il-programm kulturali għax-xhur li ġejjin tal-2022, maħluq mill-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta, li jkompli jarrikkixxi l-identita’ tal-belt kapitali tagħna filwaqt li jagħti l-ħajja lill-ispazji tagħha, biex jitgawdew minn kulħadd. Dan il-programm huwa opportunità oħra biex nesponu l-prodott artistiku u kulturali Malti fl-isfond tal-Belt sabiħa tagħna.

Culture is an extension of the identity of a nation. Our nation’s Capital, Valletta, is brimming with historic venues and artistic locations which represent our evolving cultural identity over the years. The atmosphere in Valletta has changed significantly over the past few years, and its popularity has increased amongst tourists and locals alike.
FOREWORD 2
I am proud to present this cultural programme for the coming months of 2022, prepared by the Valletta Cultural Agency, which continues to enhance our capital city’s identity while bringing its spaces to life, to be enjoyed by all. This programme is another opportunity for us to showcase the Maltese artistic and cultural product against the backdrop of our beautiful city.
Għal sentejn sħaħ, id-dinja waqfet hekk kif il-pandemija battlet it-toroq, l-uffiċċji, u t-teatri tagħna. In-nies staħbiet ġewwa, beżgħana mill-kuntatt ma’ xulxin. L-arti, fil-forom kollha tagħha, kienet waħda mill-ftit affarijiet li żammitna għaddejjin. Fil-fatt, minkejja ż-żminijiet mudlama, l-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta ħadmet qatigħ biex toħloq mill-ġdid l-inizjattivi tagħha, u tipprovdi programm mill-qalb li kien ibbażat ħafna minnu onlajn. Sfidajna u għelibna l-ostakli biex bqajna noffru mezz ta’ divertiment lin-nies, u biex trażmettejna l-esperjenzi u l-biżgħat tagħna permezz tal-arti.
Għal darb’oħra, dehret biċ-ċar ir-rilevanza tal-arti. Il-pandemija wriet lil kulħadd li l-artisti huma ħaddiema essenzjali għallbenesseri tan-nazzjon tagħna. Issa li r-restrizzjonijiet spiċċaw, ninsabu lesti biex għal darb’oħra noffru lill-pubbliku programm li jiċċelebra l-ħajja. Fix-xhur li ġejjin ser noffru attivitajiet mill-isbaħ u li jġibu l-kuntentizza.
M’għandniex kliem biżżejjed biex nirringrazzjaw lill-artisti li kkollaboraw magħna għall-inġenwità, il-kompassjoni, u r-reżiljenza tagħhom matul dawn iż-żminijiet.
Għalhekk, nistieden lil kulħadd jingħaqad magħna f’dawn l-attivitajiet, u jsir parti mill-familja tagħna. F’dinja kontinwament onlajn, nixtiequ noħolqu spazju għal konnessjonijiet sinifikanti, wiċċ imb’wiċċ. Ċermen L-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta // Chairman Valletta Cultural Agency

For two whole years the world stood still as the pandemic emptied streets, our offices and theatres. People hid behind locked doors, afraid of human contact.
In fact, despite darkened times, the Valletta Cultural Agency toiled hard to re-invent our offerings and provide a heartfelt programme that was mostly digital. We have pushed our boundaries, transcending the many obstacles to keep entertaining people and chronicling our lives and fears.
FOREWORD 4
Our gratitude knows no bounds for the ingenuity, compassion, and resilience that our collaborating artists and practitioners showed during these troubled times.
Now as restrictions have been lifted we are ready once more to provide our public with a stellar program that celebrates life. What we offer in the coming months is joy and meaning.
Art has once again been validated in its relevance. This pandemic has shown everyone that artists are essential workers to our nation’s well being.
Art, in all its forms, was one of the few things that kept us sane.
We will strongly focus on celebrating local talent and highlighting the beauty of our capital, Valletta. I encourage everyone to join these festivities and be part of our family. In a world that is constantly connected online, we want to want to offer in-person, significant connections.

Uffiċjal Kap Eżekuttiv L-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta // Chief Exceutive Officer Valletta Cultural Agency
Issa, għat-tieni nofs tas-sena, qed naħdmu fuq diversi avvenimenti oħra ta’ interess u ta’ kwalità, fosthom il-Valletta Food Week, li ser tiċċelebra l-kċina lokali tagħna, kif ukoll kunċert mit-tenur ta’ fama internazzjonali José Cura, li ser joffri prestazzjoni ta’ klassi mondjali. Huwa tassew żmien eċitanti għall-arti u l-kultura u ninsabu ħerqanin biex naqsmuh magħkom!
L-arti u l-kultura huma esperjenza li ngħixu u naqsmu flimkien, u l-quċċata tal-espressjoni kreattiva tal-bniedem. Għalhekk, l-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta qed tippreżenta aktar avvenimenti ta’ kwalità għas-sitt xhur li ġejjin, bil-għan li jikkontribwixxu għall-ekosistema kreattiva ta’ pajjiżna, filwaqt li jipprovdu lill-pubbliku l-opportunità li jingħaqad flimkien biex jipparteċipa u jgawdi esperjenzi varji. L-ewwel nofs tas-sena diġà kien ta’ suċċess kbir għall-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta f’dak li għandu x’jaqsam ma’ attività kulturali. F’dan ir-rigward, wieħed mill-avvenimenti li bla dubju huwa mistħoqq li nsemmu huwa r-Requiem ta’ Mozart li ttella’ f’April; prestazzjoni b’kast internazzjonali li ntlaqgħet b’rispons mill-isbaħ. Avveniment ieħor li ta’ min insemmu huwa huwa l-Valletta Pageant of the Seas, li sar f’Ġunju u li fakkar it-80 sena anniversarju mill-wasla tal-SS Ohio fil-Port il-Kbir.
Now, for the second half of the year, we are working on various other interesting and high-quality events, including the Valletta Food Week - which will celebrate our local cuisine - and a concert by internationally acclaimed tenor José Cura, who will delight our audiences with a world-class performance.
It is truly an exciting time for arts and culture and we cannot wait to share it with you!
FOREWORD 6
The first half of the year has already been greatly successful for the VCA in terms of cultural activity. In this regard, one event that certainly deserves a mention is the production of Mozart’s Requiem last April; a performance with an international cast which received great acclaim. Another noteworthy event is the Valletta Pageant of the Seas, which took place in June and which paid homage to the 80th anniversary of the SS Ohio’s entry into the Grand Harbour.
Arts and culture are lived shared experiences and the epitome of human creative expression. With this in mind, the VCA is presenting more quality events for the next 6 months of the year aimed at contributing towards Malta’s creative ecosystem, while providing people with the opportunity to come together to participate in and enjoy various experiences.

CONCERT BY JOSÉ CURA 18
Il-vuċi rikka u l-preżenza manjetika tiegħu fuq il-palk jagħmlu lil José Cura wieħed mill-aktar artisti mfittxija fid-dinja. Minn Milan sa Vjenna, minn New York sa Buenos Aires, minn Melbourne sa Londra, huwa kanta l-aktar rwoli operistiċi impenjattivi fuq l-aktar palkijiet famużi madwar id-dinja. L-esperti jqisu li hemm ‘qabel u wara’ għal rwoli bħal Otello, Samson, Cavaradossi, Calaf, Peter Grimes u Tannhäuser mill-interpretazzjoni tagħhom mill-Maestro Cura. Bħala mużiċist, Cura huwa wkoll direttur rinomat u kompożitur ta’ suċċess, kif ukoll direttur tal-palk rikonoxxut internazzjonalment. F’dan il-kunċert, akkumpanjat mill-pjanista Sofia Narmania, se jinterpreta firxa wiesgħa ta’ kanzunetti minn art twelidu l-Arġentina, kif ukoll waħda mill-kompożizzjonijiet tiegħu stess, ċiklu ta’ kanzunetti bbażat fuq il-poeżija ta’ Pablo Neruda. Miktuba bejn l-1995 u l-2006, Si muero, sobrevíveme! (If I die, survive me!) se jkollha wkoll l-attriċi rinomata Maltija Jane Marshall li, bil-ħames deċennji ta’ esperjenza tagħha fuq il-palk, se tagħti l-ħajja lil mart Neruda Matilde Urrutia. His warm voice and magnetic stage presence make José Cura one of the most appealing and sought-after artists in the world. From Milan to Vienna, from New York to Buenos Aires, from Melbourne to London, he has sung the most demanding operatic roles in the most emblematic stages around the globe. Experts consider there is a before and after for roles like Otello, Samson, Cavaradossi, Calaf, Peter Grimes and Tannhäuser since their interpretation by Maestro Cura. An all-rounded musician, Cura is also a renowned conductor and an accomplished composer, as well as an internationally recognised stage director. In this concert, accompanied by pianist Sofia Narmania, he will perform a wide range of songs from his homeland Argentina, as well as one of his own compositions, a song cycle based on Pablo Neruda’s poetry. Written between 1995 and 2006, Si muero, sobrevíveme! (If I die, survive me!) will also feature renowned Maltese actress Jane Marshall who, with her 5 decades of experience on the stage, will bring Neruda’s wife Matilde Urrutia to life.
In line with the vision and the mission of the Valletta Cultural Agency, the Altofest Valletta edition is specifically designed for Valletta, as a follow-up to the nation-wide 2018 edition, involving citizens from different areas of the city, in dialogue also with the Valletta Design Cluster, the community space for cultural and creative practice.
ALTOFEST
F’din il-belt ġdida, f’wiċċ l-ilma, il-qasam tar-relazzjonijiet possibbli huwa ferm ikkulurit bl-intrużjoni tal-barranin li jġibu magħhom il-“corpus” artistiku tagħhom; artisti u ċittadini “donaturi tal-ispazju” li jgħixu flimkien, jaqsmu l-ħin u l-ispazju. Mhijiex biss kwistjoni li tospita artist f’dar privata, iżda l-preżenza ta’ kuljum ta’ artist li qed jaħdem se tikkontamina l-perspettiva ta’ kull min jgħix hemmhekk, normalment jew okkażjonalment. F’konformità mal-viżjoni u l-missjoni tal-Aġenzija Kulturali għall-Belt Valletta, l-edizzjoni Altofest Valletta hija mfassla speċifikament għall-Belt Valletta u ssegwi l-edizzjoni tal-2018 li saret mal-pajjiż kollu b’involviment taċ-ċittadini minn żoni differenti tal-Belt, fi djalogu wkoll mal-Valletta Design Cluster, l-ispazju komunitarju għall-prattika kulturali u kreattiva.

Altofest inserts itself as an experimental sociality project, continuously retracing the boundary between what is public and what is private, to create an area of no-ownership. In this new, floating city, the field of possible relations is fertilised by the intrusion of strangers bringing with them their artistic “corpus”; artists and “space donor” citizens live together, sharing time and space. It is not only a matter of hosting an artist in a private house, but the daily presence of a working artist will contaminate the point of view of everybody living there, usually or occasionally.
Altofest jistabbilixxi lilu nnifsu bħala proġett ta’ soċjalità esperimentali, li kontinwament imur lura lejn il-konfini bejn dak li hu pubbliku u dak li hu privat, biex joħloq żona ta’ mingħajr sidien.

After nearly six years of successful implementation, the Design4Innovation project is coming to conclusion in August. The project supported small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Europe by using user-centred design tools. In Malta, Design4Innovation supported the creation of the concept of the Valletta Design Cluster as a community space for cultural and creative practice and strengthened the representation of design-related professions in society. The final stakeholder activity in July will assess how support to SMEs can be improved in the next years in the context of recovery from the negative financial impact that COVID-19 had on most sectors.
