The Maltese Cinderella And Her Sisters
2026-01-27 08:30 - 20:00, 2026-01-28 08:30 - 20:00, 2026-01-29 08:30 - 20:00 (Europe/Malta) | Xewkija Windmill, 8 Triq Il-Mitħna, Ix-Xewkija, Gozo, Malta
Starting from the fairytale il-Germudija, the Maltese Cinderella, once told by Marija of Xewkija to Veronica Veen, will be endeavoured to create your own, individual fairytale. This can go deeper than you would think. Besides, we should not forget that fairytales are a specific literary genre with its own background, demands, and layered symbolism.
This workshop will be held on the occasion and and at the venue of the exhibition The Maltese Cinderella and her Sisters, based on Veronica’s groundbreaking and award-winning book “The Maltese Cinderella and the women’s storytelling tradition.”
Completely different from the classical Cinderellas, this superb Gozitan variant features a heroine who is a self-conscious and energetic maid, who knowns without the usual ‘helping animals’ or godmother/fairy to ‘conquer’ the heart of a somewhat timid son of the rich household, so not a King or Prince. The story, with its independent and wise heroine-against-all-odds, still conveys a clear message for women today.

This solo exhibition meditates on light in times of grief, hope, memory, celebration, and the mundane. The body of work on display reflects on how light weaves through humanity’s lived experience.
Azzopardi is drawn to the presence of light in two primary spaces: the home and the expanse of the sea. Indoors, it transforms a space into a sanctuary; outdoors, the sea’s surface mirrors this play of light, constantly shifting. In her practice, Azzopardi explores how these motifs serve as metaphors for her own experiences of light. Her work embodies its presence, offering a sense of refuge – a pause amid life’s flux. The exhibition captures these fleeting moments, reminding us that, in a world of constant change, light remains an anchor for reflection.

Art Exhibition: Gateways and Portals
2026-02-01 12:00 - 17:45, 2026-02-08 12:00 - 17:45, 2026-02-15 12:00 - 17:45 | Chrysalis Studio, Viviani Court, Mġarr Road, Ix-Xewkija
Planet Earth is entering 2026, a change that is both cosmical and cultural in nature as it is global and local. A time marked by various traditions and celebrations throughout history, the first quarter of the year features New Year’s Eve fireworks, Holi, the Lunar (or Chinese) New Year, Carnival/Mardi Gras, and the March Equinox. The names of the first months of the year reflect themes of beginnings, purification, and renewal from ancient Roman culture.
Gateways and Portals invites visitors to pause at the threshold of time, season, and meaning. This is where endings dissolve and new beginnings take form. This exhibition itself is a portal: a moment to cross, reflect, and step consciously into what is emerging.
Able to be viewed in-person or virtually, it aims to celebrate the various aspects of the first quarter of the new year. It explores the elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, Blue and Orange, and Celestial Spheres and Chinese Mythology, with each category revealing something about the mysterious world of gateways and portals.
This exhibition includes art works, fine art photography, as well as ceramics, by the following participating artists:

Carri C. – acrylic and mixed-media paintings
Christine Mizzi – tattoo art, candles, ceramics, acrylic and watecolour paintings
Hel. A. Crafts – needle-felted framed works
Loving Gozo Arts – acrylic paintings and découpaged artisanal items
Marisa Warwick – paintings in oil and watercolour
Richie’s Nature Photography – fine art photography
Shaun McGrath – fine art photography

Private viewings are available by appointment at no extra cost.

Cockadoodledoo
2026-02-14 10:00 - 13:00, 2026-02-14 17:00 - 19:00, 2026-02-15 10:00 - 12:00 | Arthall Gozo, 8, triq Agius de Soldanis, Il-Belt Victoria, VCT 1265, Malta
“One morning, not long after his return to the cave, Zarathustra leapt from his resting place like a madman, roaring in a terrible voice, behaving as though someone else still lay there and refused to rise.” Thus echoes Nietzsche’s scene: Zarathustra’s cry resounds so violently that his animals approach in fear, while every other creature flees—flying, crawling, leaping—according to the limbs or wings they were given.
“Up, abysmal thought, out of my depth! I am your cock and your dawn. Awake, sleepy worm! My voice shall crow you from your sleep. Unfasten your ears and listen—for I wish to hear you.”
At dawn, particularly in Gozo, the sound of “cock-a-doodle-doo” can still be heard. Yet this exhibition is not a nostalgic celebration of rural life. It turns instead toward the abysmal thoughts that dwell within us—thoughts that now seem to be fading. Are they merely asleep, waiting to be awakened? Or are we drifting into a zombie-like state, moving through life without truly inhabiting it?
Scroll, swipe—and never wake. We grow accustomed to cognitively painless experiences, to anaesthesia. Our abysmal thoughts would rather lie on the sofa, while everything around us struggles for survival. Perhaps we are even losing the depth required to reach the abyss at all.
This exhibition investigates different forms of “cock-crowing”: calls that summon life to rise in all its complexity—its pain, suffering, and joy. A life not yet defeated, or at least one still willing to meet the challenge.

Is-Salib, Ġesù u Int
2026-02-18 08:00 - 23:55 | Pjazza Madonna Ta’ Loreto, Triq Simirat, Għajnsielem, Gozo, Malta
During this Lenten season, a large cross will be exhibited with a surrounding garden—a modern yet traditional way of the Cross reflecting contemporary life. The cross is dedicated to those facing difficult times, honoring the struggles of individuals and communities in today’s world. It invites all who visit to pause in prayer and reflection, to walk in compassion, and to find hope amid suffering. Rooted in faith and shaped by present-day realities, the display serves as a reminder of Christ’s journey, the shared weight of human hardship, and the promise of renewal that emerges through love, mercy, and solidarity.
