Walking Along
This walk and workshop is designed to explore the diverse perspectives, histories, and contemporary challenges of the coast of Marsaskala. Through observation, dialogue, and reflection, participants will engage actively with the landscape and with each other, developing their own interpretations of Marsaskala’s past and present.
The activity will take place on 23 May 2026, beginning at 4:00 PM, with the meeting point at St Thomas Tower.
The activity will be structured in three parts:
Participants will walk in an open, exploratory format that encourages curiosity, discussion, and shared interpretation.
They will be invited to take photographs using their mobile phones, capturing objects, buildings, activities, or scenes that they feel represent Wied il-Għajn today and/or in the past.
Dialogue and exchange among participants will be central to this part of the experience, with individuals encouraged to ask questions, share observations, and reflect collectively.
