The second edition of ‘From Square to Square’ initiative will be taking place over the coming months, which will see the squares of various localities across Malta and Gozo come alive. In Gozo, Xaghra will be taking part with events in the square.
Following last year’s success, the Local Government Division will once again be funding a series of activities that will be held in collaboration with various Local Councils. This follows the issuance of an expression of interest among the Local Councils of Malta and Gozo where 43 local councils applied to be part of this initiative.
Minister for Culture, Arts and Local Government, Owen Bonnici and the Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government, Alison Zerafa, it was explained that this initiative aims to create artistic and cultural experiences in the heart of Maltese communities, namely the squares.
The squares of various localities will be transformed into centres of creativity and community meetings. All this through a series of performances, local films and interactive activities.
The cultural and community programme will be under the artistic direction of Daniel Cauchi in continuous collaboration with the Local Councils. Each locality will have a unique programme inspired by its identity and history.
Parliamentary Secretary Alison Zerafa Civelli said that these activities ”will be complementing other initiatives of Local Councils across Malta and Gozo and thus continue to enrich our country’s artistic and cultural calendar with quality activities all year round.”
The Parliamentary Secretary concluded by saying that this is an investment in our communities, an investment in Culture and the Arts, in handicrafts and above all an investment in all residents in localities around Malta and Gozo.
The localities that will be hosting these activities between May and November are Kirkop, Swieqi, Safi, Lija, Dingli, Xaghra, Sliema, Ghaxaq, Pembroke, Siggiewi, Mqabba, Zurrieq, Paola, Valletta and Cospicua.
