                        rubberbodies is a multi-disciplinary artist collective based on the island of Malta. The initial idea was not to create a collective. Through discussions, we realised that an artist network is missing within a community which strives for the expression of the individual. We all talk about creative ideas and the desire to translate them and share them. We decided that collectively we could create something stronger, through the interchange of ideas and the universality of our cultural inheritance.

                        rubberbodies is a multi-disciplinary artist collective based on the island of Malta. The initial idea was not to create a collective. Through discussions, we realised that an artist network is missing within a community which strives for the expression of the individual. We all talk about creative ideas and the desire to translate them and share them. We decided that collectively we could create something stronger, through the interchange of ideas and the universality of our cultural inheritance.

                        We come from a similar family background – the working class; ancestors land workers, fathers victims of the factory culture, mothers striving for the best child education, religious institutions inserting capsules of stigma and fear and a manipulating government capitalising what once used to be a simple happy life. The urge of questioning and seeking a different form of education and lifestyle, meant that you either turn into a black sheep or rocket to another land to find yourself.

                        The need to jump into a fantasy world of play, movement, scribbles and voices is a deviation of the system and a journey towards of a common ground where expression can exist. This is what started off rubberbodies.

                        Coming from different training backgrounds, we are curious of how our perception can be expressed through different mediums and methods and how each singular idea can find a path in the spectrum of performance. Captivated under a spell of creation, we lunge into an exchange process of sharing our techniques and approaches and seek what is most alive whilst integrating languages of movement, sonar and imagery.

                        We created a method of devising, interlinking ideas without setting restrictions of what to do and how to arrive to it. Our interest is to interweave, change and fertilise each others’ artistic visions and find ways of bringing to life our visual conceptions. Whilst we explore our imagination, we aim to integrate art as a category in a society that builds expectations, values and roles based on a controlled system generated by the powerful bodies of religion, politics and the media. We use art and our bodies to address culturally determined perceptions by creating spaces for the observation of serious social and political issues.
