Alternative Perspectives is a collective exhibition featuring twenty-nine contemporary art projects, which collectively propose the real identity of the Mediterranean island of Gozo as a platform for a conceptually engaging artistic discourse. The exhibition taps into the immense creative potential provided by an island with an area of merely 67km2.

The concept is to present Gozo as a source for an artistic dialect which digs beneath the surface, which is current and intellectually and symbolically stimulating. It aims to break conventional, picturesque and repetitive formulas through which the island is generally represented. These many times only pay lip service to a subject that possesses far vaster and many times unexploited possibilities.

This artistic project proposes alternative perspectives to the artistic dialogue with Gozo, immersed in the multi-layered and multi-media language of contemporary art. The utilisation and ‘occupation’ of a theatre and its ancillary zones as exhibition spaces enhances the ‘alternative’ character of this exhibition.

For the duration of the exhibition, a captivating route unfolds as the visitor moves from one space to the next. Hence, the works become an extension of the performance space, in which artists and their works converse with each other in a continuous dialogue.
