Suitable Citizens pop-up exhibition on campus
The Maltese Citizenship Act states that an adult 鈥渁lien or a stateless person鈥ay be granted a certificate of naturalisation as a citizen of Malta if he satisfies the Minister鈥 that, amongst other things, 鈥渉e would be a suitable citizen of Malta鈥. But what makes a person a 鈥渟uitable citizen鈥? The art project Suitable Citizens brought together a group of participants from different African countries and local artists and educators to produce various artefacts: photographs, screen printed tote bags, scarves, face masks and a large group textile artwork mixing stencilling with collage and painting. Supported by the local NGO Jesuit Refugee Service Malta, this socially engaged work forms part of 鈥楢cting on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture鈥 (AMASS), a
Horizon 2020 funded project in which the Faculty of Education at the University of Malta is involved along with several European institutions.
The exhibition can be visited at the New Art Studio (portacabins) in Car Park 6 :
