This year, The Malta Festival of Ideas explores the power of creativity and critical thinking as catalysts for transformation.

Under the theme Metamorphosis: transformative cultures, for a more sustainable, just and harmonious future, we open a space for dialogue around the cultures shaping our society and the possibilities for meaningful change.

From the evolving night-time economy to health and safety practices, artistic rights and the realities of those working across different music genres, this edition brings together different voices, perspectives and ideas to question, connect, and imagine what comes next.

Transformation begins with an idea.”
