The Examinations Centre is a place of memory for most of the Maltese. This exhibition, made up of commissioned and existing works by Maltese and international artists deals with the sea as a place of memory, romanticism, global trade of goods as well as mobility, voyage and displacement.

Fernando Sánchez Castillo (b. Madrid 1970) presents “Monument” Through drawings and a maquette, this installation explores collective memory, inviting communities to discuss what a monument for Malta should represent and memorialise in the present moment. Fernando Sánchez Castillo often uses the concept of creating monuments in order to investigate the relationship of history and politics, art and power, public space and collective memory.
