'Privileged Outcasts' at Il-Ħagar


A traditional crib, Yuletide philatelic cards and stamps and pasturi (crib figurines) made locally are among the attractions currently on display at Il-Ħaġar museum in Victoria.
The title of the pasturi display is ‘The Privileged Outcasts’, refering to the shepherds who were considered as inferior members of society. However, they were the first privileged to be given the news of the birth of Jesus.
Works by pasturi artists Lino Fardell, of Żejtun, and Carmelo Agius, of Pietà, both deceased, are being exhibited.
There are also creations in clay and papier-mâché by Agius’s son Joe and the late Manuel Axiak, of Tarxien. Figurines, modelled in Maltese raw clay in the 19th century, are also on show. ....
