FiftySix Design Talks is an exciting collaboration between The Golden Glitch and the Valletta Design Cluster. This dynamic partnership brings together artists, designers, and innovators for a series of talks that explore the intersection of tradition and modernity in design. It’s a space where time-honored crafts meet contemporary ideas, all hosted within the historic walls of Valletta.
Connect & Inspire:
After the talks, stay for a mingle session. Connect with fellow creatives, share ideas, and get inspired over a glass of wine in the stunning surroundings of Valletta.
