Documenting Jazz: An Oral History with Jeni Caruana

 Documenting Jazz: An Oral History with Jeni Caruana in Malta, Special Events Malta, 11.12.2019 - 11.12.2019

Description:

Wednesday 11 December 2019 from 4pm until 6pm. Entrance: free - no booking required.

Artist Jeni Caruana speaks with Spazju Kreattiv Artistic Toni Sant about painting and drawing at previous editions of the Malta Jazz Festival, along with fellow expat artists Olaug Vethal (1946-2007) and Ebba von Fersen Balzan (1957-2008). Her oral history of this activity, which went on for more than two decades, forms part of efforts to document the Malta Jazz Festival, challenging the narratives surrounding jazz as a male-dominated domain, and the way those affected have been marginalised from this music history.

This Art Additives event is part of the Spazju Kreattiv research project documenting works of art in the Fondazzjoni Kreattività permanent collection, in collaboration with the M3P Foundation. It also serves as a prelude for the 2020 edition of Art+Feminism, which will include an edit-a-thon focusing on the appropriate representation of women artists in Malta on Wikipedia. This continues on similar activities in recent years that aim to address the gender gap in the art scene and on the world’s most popular non-commercial website.
