This year's theme is 'Gathering Possibilities', reflecting the presence of creative opportunities when people come together.
This week, the grounds of MCAST in Mosta will be getting a good dose of midsummer creativity, as the third edition of KampuSajf takes over the campus and amphitheatre from Wednesday 20th till Friday 22nd August.
Co-directed by curator & architect Elyse Tonna and the musical artist Justin Galea, the festival celebrates creativity, cultural engagement, and the arts, offering a platform for emerging talent and fostering dialogue between students, practitioners, and the wider public.
Over three days, the campus will be transformed into a centre of cultural activities, featuring performances, discussions, film screenings, and live music. This year’s theme, ‘Gathering of Possibilities’, emphasises cross-disciplinary work, environmental awareness, and community-led initiatives.
Interested? Here are some of the programme’s highlights:
20th August
What Language Do You Dream In? by Dance Beyond Borders
Belonging Here, a curated selection of short films exploring identity and place
Ir-Raġel, a collaborative artistic action led by Glen Calleja

Art will be happening offstage too! Pep Walls, a Malta-based muralist, will make some of the walls of MCAST Mosta a lot more colourful, painting a mural live during the festival.
Performances begin at 8 pm each evening, and tickets are available via ticketline.com.mt. For full programme details, visit mcast.edu.mt.
No need to be an MCAST student or even an art enthusiast – if you’re looking for some creative inspiration, this might just be right up your alley.
