MALTA INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE (MICAS) GALA 2022
Malta has been a cradle for the collision of cultures across generations and the art that has surfaced from our shores has inspired and illuminated civilisations across history. The programme at the heart of the event entirely curated by Luke Azzopardi Studio was designed as a continuation of this heritage and a celebration of the sacred moment when art lives and performs. It is a reminder that no matter how much times change, so much about what inspires and makes us who we are, remains the same.
The gala doubled as a seated concert, and the lineup that was put together for this event brought together women whose collective outputs condense the zeitgeist of Maltese contemporary performance. Forever looking to the divine feminine as a source of inspiration, Luke Azzopardi Studio crafted a beautiful whimsical musical adventure, borrowing from the talents and voices of some of Malta’s leading artists.
The evening was in celebration of artist Michele Oka Doner and her artwork, The Palm Goddess of Malta.

Collaboration
Luke Azzopardi Studio has embarked on a number of large scale collaborations, including producing work for the London Design Biennale, Arts Council Malta, Heritage Malta, ZfinMalta as well as the Three Palaces Festival.
A notable example is Of Hell and Exile, a multi-faceted, interlinked and fully immersive project The process-led nature of this project sees a multimedia dialogue between artists who explore Dante’s Divina Commedia through the eyes of Anna Akhmatova. Akhmatova was one of the few artists who remained in Russia during Stalin’s regime. For of hell and exile, the Akhmatova songs by John Tavener were performed and recorded by Gillian Zammit and Akos Kertesz. The project speaks of notions of identity, displacement and the universality of human suffering. It aims to unveil a ‘work-in-progress’ style artistic vision with a socio-political tinge.
