First Maltese participation in the 12th
Euro-Maghrebi writers meeting
Claudia Gauci, a Maltese poet and translator, has
participated in the 12th edition of the Euro-Maghrebi writers' festival. This
festival is being held between the 16th of February and the 16th of March. This
edition of the festival is being held for the first time online due to
restrictions on travel to Algeria. During this online dialogue, the Maltese
poet Ms. Gauci and the Algerian poet Lamis Saidi answered each other’s
questions in relation to poetry and how lifetime experiences are reflected in
their works.
The
Consulate of Malta in Algeria worked closely with the Delegation of the
European Union in Algeria and the Algerian cultural association Vivarium to
allow this first participation of a Maltese artist in a cultural activity in
Algeria to become a reality.
