A Biography of Daphne
A Biography of Daphne is a curatorial planerat arbete that revisits the Classical myth of Daphne as the starting point for an investigation of trauma and metamorphosis, symbiosis and entanglement in contemporary art.

She began writing a column for Malta’s Sunday Times in , shortly after her youngest son was born. Her column was unusual for its time — a mix of commentary, opinion, reportage and analysis which shone a light in the darkest shadows and brought a note of much needed satire and humour to Malta’s media.
