Homebody
Maria Borg will debut the MUŻA 2021 programme with her first solo exhibition titled ‘Homebody’.
“This exhibition focuses on painting objects. The paintings obsess over texture; the softness of the fabric and the heaviness of the body that inhabited them. They tease by evoking a presence that interacted with the subject that is no longer there. This absence lends the objects a heavy aura which suggests that they will be around for much longer than we will.”

- Time: 7:00pm till 9:00pm
- Venue: TBA (Check their socials for more updates)
