The Rubberbodies Collective will tomorrow be donating a weathervane to the Sliema community as part of the project Il-Warda tar-Riħ (The Windrose Project), which is part of the Valletta 2018 cultural programme.

To mark this event, titled Winds Bring Gifts Ashore, an intimate performance is being organised at Exiles beach at 7.30pm, which will lead to the unveiling of the weathervane by Sliema mayor Anthony Chircop. The Sliema weathervane is the first of four public art sculptures which will be installed in Sliema, Marsaxlokk, Mġarr and Għarb.

The design was inspired following discussions with Leli Camilleri, the president of the Għaqda tas-Sajjieda Dilettanti, and the Sliema mayor.

A traditional kite-making workshop is also being organised, during which participants can create and fly a traditional Maltese kite.

Members of the public are invited to join in and fly their own kites.
