    Studio Sessions - Luminous Veil: The Intersection Between Anthropology and Art with Adrian Camilleri

    Filmmaker and anthropologist Adrian Camilleri will offer insights into his body of work to date and engage in a discussion about his future projects. His work weaves together anthropology and art, aiming to highlight the richness of cultures and human experiences through an interplay of sound and imagery. He will discuss various methods of representation, focusing on how sound and image are used to interpret and understand the world around us.

    Join us for an open studio session and work alongside fellow creatives in a participatory environment to explore how anthropology can be a tool of exploration and expression. 

    Location: Studio 1

    Date & Time: 23rd of May between 6pm and 7:30pm

    This event forms part of the Valletta Design Cluster's Studio sessions programme.

    FiftySix Design Talks: Making a statement

    A message can be printed in bold ink or sprayed across a wall — either way, it makes a statement. In this edition of FiftySix, we explore how design becomes a tool for speaking up, whether through satire, protest, or quiet resistance. From comic papers to street murals, we look at how artists use language and visuals to express what’s often left unsaid — to question, to challenge, or simply to be seen. Join us as we unpack the power of visual statements, and what they reveal about the world around us.


    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.
