Il-Ħaġar Museum is pleased to announce its first temporary exhibition for 2026, presenting artworks by Gozitan artist Clara Azzopardi. This solo exhibition meditates on light in times of grief, hope, memory, celebration, and the mundane. The body of work on display reflects on how light weaves through humanity’s lived experience.
Azzopardi is drawn to the presence of light in two primary spaces: the home and the expanse of the sea. Indoors, it transforms a space into a sanctuary; outdoors, the sea’s surface mirrors this play of light, constantly shifting. In her practice, Azzopardi explores how these motifs serve as metaphors for her own experiences of light. Her work embodies its presence, offering a sense of refuge – a pause amid life’s flux. The exhibition captures these fleeting moments, reminding us that, in a world of constant change, light remains an anchor for reflection.
𝑫𝑰𝑱𝑨 will be inaugurated on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 19:30. Everyone is invited to the official opening. The exhibition will remain open until Sunday 22 March 2026, during the Museum’s official opening hours (Monday to Sunday, 9:00-17:00).
