This May, the first edition of Ħaġra Festival 2025 invites you to engage with the ever-evolving discourse of contemporary architecture in the Mediterranean Basin. As a platform for critical dialogue, innovation, and reflection, the festival brings together architects and the wider community to examine the forces shaping our built environment.

The Mediterranean, a historic crossroads of cultures and ideas, now faces unprecedented environmental, social, and political challenges. In this shifting landscape, architecture plays a crucial role in responding to issues of climate change, resource scarcity, conflict, urban transformation, and the ethics of preservation versus demolition.

Stemming from Din L-Art Ħelwa, the festival will feature a curated programme of roundtable discussions, exhibitions, and both local and international presentations on contemporary architectural practice. Join us this May to walk, listen, discuss, and reimagine the future of Mediterranean architecture.
