NAQSAM IL-MUŻA Ongoing Various Sites Across Malta & Gozo
c. Jonathan Borg
Naqsam il-MUŻA is an innovative exercise in community curation that brings art and resident communities together. Naqsam il-MUŻA fosters a spirit of interaction through culture, where individuals select pieces of art from the national collection that will soon be housed in MUŻA – Malta’s new national art museum – and share their thoughts with the rest of their community. Since its launch in 2016, this project has engaged several communities in Malta with the national collection; through interactions with paintings and other artefacts, diverse groups and individuals have responded to the environment and realities of our Islands in a social setting that allows communities to exchange ideas and experiences. The resulting insights and debates range from the personal to the political and are often unexpected and surprising reactions to established and canonical cultural material.

NAQSAM IL-MUŻA Kontinwu F’Bosta Siti Madwar Malta u Għawdex
Naqsam il-MUŻA huwa eżerċizzju innovattiv fil-kuratura komunitarja li jgħaqqad l-arti u l-komunitajiet tar-residenti flimkien. Naqsam il-MUŻA jrawwem spirtu ta’ interazzjoni permezz tal-kultura, fejn membri ta’ komunità jagħżlu u jippreżentaw biċċiet tal-arti mill-kollezzjoni nazzjonali li dalwaqt se tkun tinsab f’MUŻA – il-mużew tal-arti komunitarja nazzjonali ġdid ta’ Malta. Mit-tnedija tiegħu fl-2016, il-proġett involva
diversi komunitajiet f’Malta mal-kollezzjoni nazzjonali; permezz ta’ interazzjonijiet ma’ pitturi u artifatti oħra, diversi gruppi u individwi rreaġixxew għall-ambjent u r-realtajiet tal-Gżejjer tagħna f’ambjent soċjali li jippermetti lill-komunitajiet li jiskambjaw l-ideat u l-esperjenzi. L-ideat u d-dibattiti li rriżultaw ivarjaw mill-personali għall-politiku u huma ta’ spiss reazzjonijiet mhux mistennija u sorprendenti għall-materjal kulturali kanoniku.
