RITWALI

I was tasked to conceptualise and develop a platform for RITWALI, which weaves together individual and collective stories, criticism and art relating to Maltese rituals to form a single map, but with different paths to engender the (re)discovery of rituals, in an anthropological, cultural but also ethnographical exercise.

 

By engaging a broader public and building this map of narratives behind rituals, we can discuss community identity, shared beliefs, public space, and creative expression.

​

Through a number of open calls, RITWALI sets out to collect photos, videos and other kinds of media relating to personal recollections of rituals, which will then be curated and linked to traditional and contemporary art and creative, academic and critical writings to then yield an annual calendar for the rituals of the Maltese Islands.

​

The project was funded by the Arts Council Malta.
