Future crafting day. Today I was part of a day long workshop that tried to imagine what a food future for Malta might look like. Facilitors Maja and Nik from ‘transdisciplinary laboratory’ foam helped us imagine 4 scenarios of the future: a continuation of the present, a collapse, forced change and transformation. We looked at futures …
Grumpy day. From early on in the day I could tell it was one of those testy days. Which of course has nothing to do with the day itself and everything to do with me taking on far too much and expecting far too much of myself. Things that usually were bog standard happenings suddenly …
It’s almost 9pm and I’m tired. It’s been a long day without much stopping. Early morning yoga, a Skype call with Australia which opened up the potential for a lot of new work, a meeting with a curator and a production manager about possibly project managing part of their exhibition. It’s incredibly interesting work and …
Monday, funday (? Is that allowed on a Monday?), homeworking day in Valletta. I woke up at around 9am, feeling a bit lazy but I had no morning meetings so why not? I had breakfast, showered and sat down to work by 10. The benefits of having an office right there in your balcony. I …
🎤Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 65? 🎤 Bahrija day through and through. Waking up at Bahrija Oasis has a special quality to it. There’s a kind of peace that’s difficult to find in other places. I woke up and went directly to writing again, this time on my …
With no morning fixed appointments or urgent work to do, I opened my eyes at around 9am. I spent the next few hours writing in bed, fed by a cute but not so wholesome Lindt bunny left over from Easter. I love the vibe of morning writing and had not had time with my big …
A red day in many respects. Country drama, red picnic cooler, red jacket, red light in the room I’m writing from at the moment. While the country has been imploding / exploding about Panama companies, I’ve been going about my day doing my best to expend as little energy as possible on this latest fiasco. …
I’m so happy to be almost at the ‘go to bed and sleep’ portion of the day. I’ve just been to Blitz for the opening of their Truth || Lies exhibition (totally recommended, it’s open until the 17 May) and now feeling utterly sleepy. The highlight of my day was probably a lunchtime mission to …
One of those beautiful random days that make freelancing fabulous. Some quick Permaculture Malta admin in the morning, packing the last bits for the Biennale exhibition, a Hamrun run for highly unlikely things like plastic flowers, seriously sticky double sided tape, enough cleaning implements to keep even the most clean-happy person content and candles (one …
Oh look, another day over. And the 100 days of this diary are going past at wonderous speeds. A morning of intense work at Corinthia, an afternoon of packing artefacts and picking up signs for the Biennale exhibition. Perhaps they make up one ‘normal’ ish day together through the diversity of tasks there. What is …
