About

Resistence, Imaginaries, Migration, Art/Anthropology

Rima is an anthropological and artistic project born in 2014 aiming at exploring, rethinking and reshaping the multifaceted aspects of displacement, through a series of creative and multidisciplinary initiatives. Every project is made in collaboration with artists, scholars, and people who experieced migration and exile.

RIMA has been part of the Valletta 2018 Cultural Programme.

RIMA records migrant narratives and provides a space for stories and discourse about exile and migration, to make the voices of people who come from elsewhere heard, and played a meaningful part in the European Capital of Culture narrative.

In an increasingly interconnected world, the RIMA project is important as it fosters an inclusive approach in which people of different backgrounds can work and create together.

The project was previously supported by Malta Arts Fund, Valletta 2018 – European Capital of Culture, Archivio Memorie Migranti, UNHCR, French Embassy of Malta and Viaggi Solidali.
