THREAD
Collective Exhibition
23rd Sep - 17th Oct 2022

Lost in the Ether

by Nicole Sciberras Debono
19th Aug - 12th Sept 2022
@ il-Kamra ta' Fuq
To be ‘lost in the ether’, is to say that one is engrossed in a communication or visual that has no fixture in space or time; it has no precise location or context. Sciberras Debono brings forward esoteric narratives of a domestic familiarity, with notes on online and para-social relationships, and the reflections of a young woman in a contemporary society.

Harboured
by Sarah Calleja

A Midsummer's Red Dream
