Commissioned by the Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) as part of its public, curatorial, and educational programme, Beyond the Bastions is an exhibition that explores the historical evolution of the site that now hosts Malta’s national contemporary art museum.

AP Valletta participated in the first edition of designMT themed "Where tradition meets innovation’’, with the installation "The Myth of Abundance": adapting the structure of the cabinet of curiosities both as a conceptual framework and as an actual display, the project exhibited a multidimensional journey through historical artifacts, natural specimens, and cultural symbols that reveal the island’s complex relationship with its most precious resource, water.
