Gilbert Calleja
The artist, the teacher and the curator
“When I was a kid, I'd tell my mother that I wanted to become an artist. I don't think she took me seriously back then, because this didn't seem like a realistic career (it still doesn't). I loved drawing a lot as a kid, then as a teenager I realised that I could express my inner 'self' in words too.

“Traffic Island”
Ces dix dernières années, Malte a connu un afflux de boat people, ce qui a fait de l’ « immigration » l’un des sujets de débat les plus brûlants du pays. Mais tandis que le racisme augmente, les hommes politiques locaux se montrent peu soucieux de favoriser l’intégration des migrants à la population locale.

Young on the Rock
Good weather, stability and warm- hearted people. All sell well with the tourists but how do young Maltese people live? What do they make out of living on a tiny Euro-Med island with ambitions of becoming an international communications hub? How does it feel to be a young person living in densely populated Malta today?
