Curator:

Melanie Erixon holds a BA (Hons) in History of Art (Malta) and read an MA in Museum & Heritage Management (Newcastle). She also attended various courses in curation at the Sotheby's Art Institute.

She was part of the Mdina Cathedral Contemporary Art Biennale team for two editions of the biennale, under the artistic direction of Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci. She produced and presented two radio show series on Campus FM, one about the Mdina Biennale Culture Vulture and Savoir Faire which tackled the subject of Design.

Her first experiences with exhibition curation were at STUDIO 104 (today DESKO), in Valletta, where she co-curated various exhibitions as part of her internship, with Michelle Morrissey.

From 2015 to 2018, she was the coordinator of the Strada Stretta Concept - a project under the auspices of the Valletta 2018 Foundation - where she oversaw around 90 cultural events throughout the years, including operas, fashion shows, concerts, poetry evenings, lectures, art exhibitions, theatre, and other cultural events.

Erixon is the founder of the online gallery Art Sweven, which also provides a curation service. She is currently the resident curator at il-Kamra ta’ Fuq, in Mqabba, where art exhibitions are hosted monthly. She has been part of the art4mccf committee for the last three years and she writes exhibition reviews for local newspapers. Erixon is extremely passionate about art and is also an avid collector of contemporary Maltese art.
