L-ewwel għana li ser jinstema’ waqt Festgħana 2026 huwa Il-Fatt tar-Reġjun Port ⚓️
Dan il-fatt rebbieħ, miktub minn Bradley Cachia (@hobzli ), jismu “Traġedja Ġo Kordin” u jagħti ħajja lil waħda mill-aktar forom antiki tal-espressjoni orali Maltija, l-għana tal-fatt.
L-għana tal-fatt dejjem serviet biex tirrakkonta l-istejjer, il-ġrajjiet u l-memorji tal-komunità tagħna permezz tal-vers u l-kitarra.
Għal din l-ewwel edizzjoni, Festgħana qed tagħti spazju lil temi kontemporanji marbuta mar-Reġjun Port u l-komunitajiet tiegħu.

🧠 Neuro Art Session
Two hands, one creative mind 🌸
On the 8th of May, participants from the Tarxien active ageing centre explored drawing with both hands simultaneously—activating different parts of the brain and letting go of control. From patterns to symbolic flowers, each piece represented growth, memories, and personal journeys.
A reminder that creativity has no rules—only possibilities 💫
This is part of the ART FOR ALL project led by Ryan Galea in collaboration with Active Ageing and Community Care as part of the 2026 Region of Culture. We would like to thank all the participants and we can't wait for our next session!
This project is supported by @localgovdiv and @gvernlokaligovmt
