An artistic director for Strait Street: can it get any more absurd?

The incoming Labour government convened and appointed a hundred and one cultural committees and organisations, including some specifically for Valletta.

But Jason Micallef, Valletta 2018 chairman, thinks that Strait Street needs its own specific artistic director. This is another position of trust, of course – it’s dyed-in-the-wool Labour man Giuseppi Schembri Bonaci. That’s how Jason Micallef likes them; he has no time for these Taghna Lkoll switchers and goes for a real Laburist any day.
