This publication takes Malta’s Cultural Participation Survey (2016) data as its starting point and aims, through a collection of critical essays, to present an interdisciplinary critical understanding of what construes cultural participation. This critical and open debate reflects the research objectives of Arts Council Malta’s Create 2020 strategy.

It is hoped that this publication will stimulate discussions, inspire further research and inform policymaking all the while contributing towards a knowledge base useful to cultural operators.
