New literary works to be presented

Inizjamed, in collaboration with the British Council and the St James Foundation for Creativity, will present a number of new literary works by women writers, including Clare Azzopardi, Maria Grech Ganado, Simone Inguanez, and Karen Vella, at St James Cavalier in Valletta on Monday at 7 p.m.

These works were inspired by the self-portraits of controversial British photographer Sarah Lucas, which are on show at St James Cavalier.

The literary works emerged from a series of writing workshops that were held in May and June and were coordinated by young writers Karen Vella and Clare Azzopardi.

The main aim of these writing and discussion sessions was to offer space to women who are interested in creative writing and who would like to explore the creative process together with other women.

This creative writing process will continue during July with a series of four workshops led by Menna Elfyn, a leading Welsh female writer.

Those who would like to attend her workshops, two of which will be specifically for women, should write to inizjamed@maltaforum.org or phone on tel. 2138 8995 or 7970 4058, or send a fax to Inizjamed on 2137 3272.

Entrance on Monday is free.
