The Embassy of
Malta in Warsaw had the honour to participate for the fourth consecutive year
in an event organised by the EU National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) in
Warsaw entitled ‘Poems in the City 2022’.
The objective of
the project is to enable poetry originating from European Union countries to be
given wider exposure in public spaces in Warsaw. To this end, EUNIC
collaborated with the local authorities in Warsaw to have poems, in their
original language, displayed on trams and buses in Warsaw and screens at Metro
Świętokrzyska between the 18th and 24th April and between in 09th and the 15th
May 2022.
For this edition of
Poems in the City 2022, Malta was represented by Prof. Simone Galea, a Maltese
poet and an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education at the University
of Malta, with a poem called “Inizjazzjoni”, translated to Polish by Ms Zuzanna
Gawron.
The Embassy’s
participation in this event was sponsored and supported by the Arts Council
Malta. The theme chosen for this edition of ‘Poems in the City 2022’ was
‘Beginning’.
