The Alfred Mizzi Foundation is sponsoring a series of lectures organised by The Notarial Archives Foundation, held at the Notarial Registers Archives in Valletta.

Its first public lecture was delivered by artist/photographer Alex Attard and dealt with his recent publication, Parallel Existences. In this book, Alex Attard is inspired by some of the most severely damaged volumes, which over the centuries, as a result of neglect and dampness, have taken on intriguing shapes and forms. Alex Attard produces beauty from distortion.
