The Arts are at the Heart of all we do

Back in 2022, our founder and director Sarah-Lee Zammit co-chaired an exclusive gala fundraiser in aid of the Conservation of Matteo Perez d’Aleccio’s Great Siege mural. The event, organised by the University of Malta’s Research, Innovation, & Development Trust, was a magical union of art and music, set within the magnificent halls of the Grandmaster’s Palace in Valletta. NoċeMuskata is proud to serve the artistic community and help support Malta’s artistic and cultural heritage.

An Exploration of the Arts in Our Lives

Directing a unique audio-visual work focusing on MUŻA’s four different themes: Mediterranean; Europe; Empire; the Artist. For each theme, an influential person is being chosen to discuss with them an artwork within MUŻA, and the way it impacts them and relates to their day to day life. This documentary thus seeks to bridge the gap between the arts and everyday life, and will be aired later on this year.

Funded by KulturaTV, which supports the development of high-quality cultural and creative content, and encourages independent audiovisual companies to produce quality-driven television content, this documentary is being produced under the mentorship of UK-based director and producer Ri Chakraborty, a highly sought after talent within the world of international broadcasting.

Il-Muża li Kellmitni

Il-Muża li Kellmitni is a docu-series dedicated to the different stories recounted at MUŻA, The National Community Art Museum, but above all, it is a work that focuses on how art has a place in our lives, particularly during tough times such as the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The main aim of the work was to create and facilitate access to MUŻA, inspired by the collective belief of the NoċeMuskata team that art must be accessible to all. This docu-series was intended to serve as a bridge between these two elements and to bring Maltese cultural history to the public. A history that, after all, is a crucial part of our Maltese identity.

The production reflects on a central question: what can MUŻA offer to those not familiar with visual arts, that would still give them an unforgettable experience?

From this question, Il-Muża li Kellmitni was born. This docu-series recounts the journey of four distinct personalities, who in spite of their respective successes, are not traditionally associated with visual arts.
