Fil-Friġġ wara t-Tadam 🍅 | 1st Solo show by Lorella Castillo

Fil-Friġġ wara t-Tadam 🍅 is the first solo show by Lorella Castillo.

Through playful photographs and small sculptural set-ups, she turns everyday Maltese sayings into things we can see and touch. In doing so, Castillo treats language as a living material: some phrases survive, others disappear, and each choice tells a story about history, identity, and the fast-moving media climate we share

Her images highlight what we protect, what we display, and what quietly decays beneath the surface of local speech. Curated by Rachelle Bezzina, visitors are invited to laugh, pause, and recognise pieces of themselves in the familiar yet slightly strange scenes. In this space, language is both an archive of memory and an arena of contest. Revealing the resilience, absurdity, and contradictions that shape Maltese cultural memory today.
