Malta Biennale

The OmenaArt Foundation will once again be situated at the intersection of cultures and contemporary artistic practices. In 2026, the Foundation returns to the Malta Biennale, with a thematic pavilion titled Redefining. Polish-Ghanaian Textile Narratives. Curated by Natalia Bradbury, the exhibition will feature large-scale textile installations by Marta Nadolle, Eliza Proszczuk, and Ernestina Mansa Doku, created during their artistic residency in Malta.

The artists, coming to Malta from Poland and Ghana, will intertwine the historical narratives of both countries, drawing on weaving traditions and the island’s local heritage. The exhibition will explore intercultural relationships across past, present, and future perspectives, while simultaneously interpreting the central theme of Malta Biennale 2026 – CLEAN | CLEAR | CUT – which refers to ideas of repair, connection, and purification.

Running from 11 March to 29 May 2026, the OmenaArt Foundation’s thematic pavilion will reference the philosophy of Ubuntu – “I am because we are” – emphasizing interdependence, community, and mutual respect. This idea links the artists’ collaboration with historical Polish-Ghanaian relations that have developed since the 1960s. The artworks will be accompanied by a premiere sound installation, presented live during the exhibition opening. The pavilion will also feature a public program including debates, panel discussions, and meetings with international experts.

The OmenaArt Foundation project highlights the significance of the Polish and Ghanaian contemporary art scene. Through its presence at the Malta Biennale – an important global artistic platform – it strengthens intercultural dialogue and promotes the rich textile traditions of Poland and Ghana.
