The Festival Mediterranju tal-Letteratura ta\u2019 Malta or Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival is an established annual international literary festival organized by the voluntary cultural organization Inizjamed, member of the Phoenicians’ Route, in collaboration with the European Network Literature Across Frontiers and other national and international partners including Arts Council Malta, Versopolis, National Book Council (Malta) and Istituto Italiano di Cultura di La Valletta.
\nThe first edition was held in 2006. The weeklong Malta LAF Literary Translation Workshop is an integral part of the Festival. This year, it took place from August 2nd to August 30th.
\nThe Festival brings together active writers and literary translators from Malta, the Mediterranean and beyond, to showcase contemporary writing and thinking, promote interaction across languages, geographies and artistic genres, and to discuss some of the major issues of our time.
\nBy fostering collaboration within specific programmes and across artistic genres through an annual literary festival, a literary translation workshop and other pre-festival events, the Festival Mediterranju tal-Letteratura ta\u2019 Malta aims to consolidate the place of Maltese literature in its simultaneously global and Mediterranean context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
