Howard Gardens in Mdina will be transformed into a camp-site for Utopian Nights: Inside the Border between the 30th of July and the 5th of August 2018.

This week–long event invites the public to engage with art in unique and creative ways while spending a night, or more, in their tents.

Utopian Nights: Inside the Border, which is part of the Valletta 2018 cultural programme, invites artists, thinkers, and the public to participate in discussions, storytelling, photography, poetry, music, to watch films screened on an open air 100% solar powered cinema, and to immerse themselves in original moving performances, among other unique activities.

All sessions will include an open debate with experts and an invitation for public feedback, followed by the opportunity to continue discussion during a social mixer event.

‘Inside the Border’ is the first of a series of events in the Utopian Nights series; a two-part series of public events which provides a platform for people to discuss important social issues related to exile and conflict, and to collectively re-imagine four contemporary themes: displacement, borders, encampment and the rise of global commons.

The catalyst of the series is the notion of Utopia, which is envisaged as a democratic space – a platform for discussion and a participatory project in which everyone can debate, challenge and be challenged equally.

 

This event is free of charge and open to everyone.
