Please find the first part of the conversation we had with Denise Mercieca - a very renowned artist last year she competed in the MESC and came in 5th place We spoke about different topics about her childhood and her involvement in the community. Arts and Culture in general and if they should be included as part of the Education Syllabus and also her experience being a very young mother and the community reaction during that time.
