Isabelle Borg

[3] Borg set up the Moviment Mara Maltija (Maltese Women's Movement) in the late 1980s and later became its President.

[5] A retrospective exhibition which featured her most notable work entitled 'Lover in the Bull' and a portrait of late journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, was held at Saint James Cavalier in 2021.

[8] Isabelle Borg regularly exhibited her work both in Malta and internationally, in Ireland, England and Germany, amongst others.

Besides her work with Moviment Mara Maltija, Borg wrote privately about the situation of over-crowdedness and under-staffing at Dar Merħba Bik, a Maltese NGO that provides assistance to women who have experienced domestic violence which later led to the NGO’s first fundraising events.

When she was invited to exhibit a painting in a collective exhibition called 'Nude in Maltese Art', Rather than present a female nude, Borg presented a painting called 'Standing Nude', depicting a pair of black high heels occupying an empty alcove that stood in her studio in Floriana.

Borg died in Malta in September 2010, having suffered from Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a degenerative disease which became terminal.
