Loranne Vella

Loranne Vella (born 10 July 1972) is a Maltese writer, translator and performer based in Brussels.

She started her professional career as an English and Drama teacher at St. Aloysius College, B'Kara (1995–2005).

She left Malta in 2005 and has worked as a translator at the European Parliament, Luxembourg (2005–2008) and at the Economic and Social Committee, Brussels, Belgium (2009–present).

This was the first time Vella combined literature, photography and performance in one event, an exercise which was repeated in the subsequent book launches (Rokit – 2017, Mill-bieb 'il ġewwa – 2019).

[12] In 2019 she collaborated with artist Trevor Borg[13] and wrote a story for children inspired by his work presented at the Venice Biennale as part of the Maltese Pavilion.
