RIMA 5 - 28 October 2018 // Final Exhibition St James Cavalier, Valletta
c. Virginia Monteforte
‘Rima’ is a Maltese word used to describe the ripple that a boat leaves behind as it moves across the water; it also means ‘rhyme’. Together, these connotations reflect the themes of departure, exile, detachment, trace and desire that RIMA explores through a series of creative collaborations produced by artists, scholars and migrants. Since its inception in 2014, the project has published a collection of migrant narratives and images in the book, Undertow: Poetics of Displacement, published with EDEBooks (Malta), produced diverse workshops and public events, launched a sold-out theatrical performance and produced a successful migrant film festival with Archivio delle Memorie Migranti (Rome). The year 2018 sees more workshops taking place, the production of a short movie, a film festival and a final exhibition that showcases work produced.

RIMA Mill-5 sat-28 ta’ Ottubru 2018 Esibizzjoni Finali F’Il-Kavallier ta’ San Ġakbu, Il-Belt Valletta
‘Rima’ hija l-kelma Maltija li tiddeskrivi l-mewġ li tħalli warajha dgħajsa hi u miexja fl-ilma; tfisser ukoll rima fis-sens ta’ versi mqabbla. Flimkien, dawn il-konnotazzjonijiet jirriflettu t-temi tat-tluq, l-eżilju, id-distakkament, it-traċċa u x-xewqa li RIMA jesploraw permezz ta’ serje ta’ kollaborazzjonijiet magħmula minn artisti, studjużi u migranti. Sa mill-bidu tiegħu fl2014, il-proġett ippubblika ġabra ta’ narrattivi u ritratti fil-ktieb, Undertow: Poetics of
Displacement, ippubblikat ma’ EDEBooks (Malta), ipproduċa bosta workshops u attivitajiet pubbliċi, nieda prestazzjoni teatrali li għaliha nbiegħu l-biljetti kollha, u pproduċew festival tal-films tal-migranti li kien ta’ suċċess, flimkien ma’ Archivio delle Memorie Migranti (Ruma). Is-sena 2018 se ġġib magħha aktar workshops, il-produzzjoni ta’ film qasir, film festival u esibizzjoni finali li se tkun vetrina għax-xogħol prodott.
