‘In My Dream: An Encounter with Ubah Ali Farah & Franco Tartaglia’ is an event organised as part of the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival 2025 organised by Inizjamed. During this event, supported by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di La Valletta, Ubah Ali Farah will be interviewed by Virginia Monteforte about her work.

As an oral performer, Ali Farah will perform part of her poetry in Italian. She will be accompanied by Leanne Ellul who translated her poems to Maltese especially for this occasion.
Musical interludes will be provided by Franco Tartaglia.
The evening will conclude with refreshments.
This event is multilingual.
