- 21. “I grew up with flowers actually. They did not grow in the war time, when I saw the picture of our house, it was gone, I could not see a dead root of the flowers in my house, not even one tree I planted. We had these hanging trees from the wall, there was a gate, it was a small villa, the house was inside, what is it called, I take a picture of this flower every time I see it, Bougainvillea... It was the colour of my house... When I see it I stop and dream for two minutes and then I continue walking. We grew hibiscus, Bougainvillea and hibiscus were the main flowers we grew...” “In Somalia we never saw flowers, only in a peaceful place, they are like human, war kills flowers”

- 24. The smell is my mother telling me to come to her, to mix the spices and roll out the dough: even when I am fourteen, helping makes me feel small and safe. But now our lives are different. I want to give my children the same memories, but our lives have changed. In Sudan, we spent most of our time with our family: they are the ones we celebrate with; our family keeps us happy. But now, I think of my children, and I wonder, because I can't feel what they feel. Will their memories be like mine? Will the smell of cumin remind them of their mother? Their grandmother? Will they ever keep a little of it with them, to remind them of home?
- 27. “in the past, if someone asked me, what are the issues you want to discuss, I would say 'human rights', racism, integration and such like. But today, after participating in this project, and spending time listening to you all and getting to know each other, I say, let’s talk about flowers. Flowers is something we share, and it is beautiful'.
- 28. Lampedusa Anders Lustgarten Adapted for local audience The cold wind that had pummelled Malta from the early hours of the morning could not have been more aptly delivered as Anders Lustgarten’s incredible and soul touching play Lampedusa was brought to the St. James Cavalier with the same ferocity of spirit and damning verdict of Europe’s response to the on-going atrocity and loss of human life across Africa and the Middle-East.
