Transformer: In Limbus, by Ro Caminal
Description:
In Limbus symbolically reflects upon the links between current migrant stories and the building industry, in particular the participation of the migrant collective in a booming Maltese economy and their status as newcomers to Europe.
The title makes reference to two key aspects defining the reality for immigrants in Malta: on the one hand, the perception of the island as a pre-European liminal space, which embodies transitoriness as a permanent condition, and on the other, the feeling of disenchantment and frustration at Malta being an unexpected destination in an otherwise idealised Europe. Indeed, a high number of immigrants in Malta are here by mistake, as a consequence of shipwrecks, ambiguous rescue initiatives, or institutionalised EU relocation policies. Malta then, becomes a state of in-between, of living in permanent limbus, reinforced by the precarious legal status they are granted as Residents.
In Limbus is part of Transformer, a multifaceted, two-year project presented by Blitz, Valletta, in collaboration with Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London.
Supported by the Multi-Annual Support Grant, Arts Council Malta and part of the Valletta 2018 cultural programme.
