AT BUREAU INIALA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH IL-LOKAL

Showcasing and celebrating female creatives, the second edition of Mara, brings together artists and creative studios using a variety of mediums and processes to mark their individuality and independent narratives. The Bureau Iniala, together with Marie Gallery 5, has partnered up with il-Lokal to expand on the idea of creativity, integrating design and art in a space dedicated to promoting creative talent to its audience. This showcase features over 13 female artists and two creative studios, highlighting and integrating works that best represent their current practice. The collection is varied through medium and subject matter, where each piece is in many ways in dialogue with one another. The selection process was mainly based on the artists and creatives themselves highlighting which work they feel represents their current creative practice, and the integration of each piece within this showcase was determined by creating a visual balance and representation of each artist.

The Bureau Iniala and Marie Gallery 5 promote the showcase concept within this space to present individual works and artists, creating a platform to connect artists and collaborators with new audiences.
