Zabbar calling Citta Hompesch

(2018)
a group show curated by Sabine Küper-Büsch and Thomas Büsch
for the Mahalla Festival in Zabbar, Malta


An unconverted Palazzo in Zabbar is serving as a venue for site specific interventions. After having been the home of a noble family the Palazzo served as a police station and was partly burned down during the anti-colonial uprisings in the 1958. Some locals still have personal memories. Later the Palazzo served as a depot for one local band-club. Today it is for sale awaiting a new destiny.
