“Mending the Mediterranean” is an artistic performative act that seeks to establish a profound connection between the contrasting islands of Malta and Lampedusa, acknowledging and bridging their divergent political stances on migration. By embarking on this journey in the Mediterranean waters holds for us – participants of “Rethinking Lampedusa” – the potential to transcend the boarders of conventional European ideologies, fostering a collective re-imagination of our identity as humans, and holding the potential for a different future.
