Malta placed second from last in cultural participation across the EU, according to a recent Eurobarometer survey. Artists are lamenting about the propensity of our politicians to bow to the lowest common cultural denominator.

Is education the problem? Do we have the wrong people driving the cultural sector? Is Valletta really prepared to host the European Capital of Culture?

Outgoing St James Cavalier general manager Chris Gatt, poet Immanuel Mifsud and film director Mario Philip Azzopardi will be the main guests in the studio.

Viewers are urged to send their questions and comments on timesofmalta.com and on the Facebook and Twitter pages of Times Talk.

Presented by Times of Malta’s head of media Herman Grech and chief reporter Mark Micallef, Times Talk is live on TVM at 6.55pm with a repeat on TVM 2 at 10.15pm. The programme is also streamed on timesofmalta.com.
