Your hosts

Sebastian Tanti Burlò is a Maltese political cartoonist, painter and writer, currently residing in London. His cartoons have been published weekly in the 'Times of Malta' since 2014. He graduated in Architecture and Urban Studies from the University of Westminster (London). Under the name Burlò, he has been exhibited in Malta, Barcelona, Florence and London. His work combines current affairs, satire and writing to create a socio-commentary of today’s times in bold paintings.

Berfîn Çiçek is a British Kurdish artist from North London. After earning a degree in architecture, she pursued her passion for art, training at the London Fine Art atelier and establishing her studio in South London. Çiçek's diverse practice in painting and sculpture explores life's complex patterns. As an emerging artist, she has faced challenges, particularly those affecting marginalised communities. To address this, she founded Cicek Gallery, which supports emerging and underrepresented artists.
