to be [defined] by RIMA Project – in Pictures
to be [defined] is an artistic anthropological exhibition dealing with past and contemporary displacement displayed through discursive and concrete structures which put forward a variety of perspectives. So a dialogue is created between natives and those who come from overseas. Through a succession of places, objects and imaginaries, both familiar and unsettling, but all related to migration and exile, the public is made to experience the limits of access, the fabrication of identities, the superimposition of different discourses and concepts, and finally, the invitation to partake in the act of resistance.em>to be [defined] is held at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta, until 4 – 11 – 2018 and it is curated by Virginia Monteforte. The exhibition is part of Valletta 2018 Cultural programme (Exile and Conflict Strand) and Spazju Kreattiv Cultural programme.
