			'''Artistic Career'''

			Co-founded [[Aleateia Grou]]p Theatre in '''1992''' with [[Simon Bartolo]], [[Victor Debono]] and [[Russell Muscat]], and trained and performed at the Valletta Campus Theatre (then known as MITP Theatre - Mediterranean Institute Theatre Programme) till 2005.
			The group was formed while all were University Students finding the need to put into practice the various theories and disciplines encountered in their studies as well as discover their own methodology of work and discipline.[https://books.google.com.mt/books?id=nGfMAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA391&lpg=PA391&dq=aleateia+group+malta&source=bl&ots=JjPvYWvP0e&sig=ACfU3U0ZBRD7bJ9pk6dqMDBCKZ-f4UJvRA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjIlry1_77nAhUCIVAKHXavCb0Q6AEwB3oECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=aleateia%20group%20malta&f=false]

			Between '''1993''' and '''1994''', co-founded and co-edited the literary journal "'''''Readers and Writers'''''" at University of Malta (5 quarterly issues).
			She started writing the first volume of the [[Fiddien Trilogy (Sqaq l-Infern)]] with Simon Bartolo in 2004 (published 2007).
			The second volume - [[Wied Wirdien]] - came out in 2008, and the final volume - [[Il-Ġnien tad-Dmugħ]] - in 2009.

			In '''2010''' began her solo career as writer with the publication of Magna Mater for young adult readers. The novel was written during the year her mother was diagnosed with cancer which led to her demise in June 2010. The "mother" element in the whole novel was a direct consequence of this. The novel is dedicated to her memory.

			In '''2013''' she was asked to collaborate with photographer [[Ritty Tacsum]].
			She wrote a short story in 4 chapters inspired by her work, titled '''''Dawn l'erbat ikmamar l'għandi''''' (These four rooms of mine, translated into English by Ramon Zerafa). The launch of the book, a performative public reading of the story, took place during the exhibition itself, with Ritty's installation and exhibits as backdrop.

			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). It is also the fundamental principal behind the performance art collective which she co-founded with [[Sephora Gauc]]i in 2017, [[Barumbara]] Collective - to create performative events in collaboration with artists from other art forms.

			Between '''2014-2017''' she translated several children's stories from French into Maltese (known as Rumanzini) and one from Spanish into Maltese.

			Between '''2012-2017''' she wrote '''Rokit''', her most ambitious literary work so far.

			In '''2019''' she collaborated with artist [[Trevor Borg]] and wrote a story for children inspired by his work presented at the Venice Biennale as part of the Maltese Pavilion. The title of the story is '''''Smajna Isimna Taħt l-Art''''' published in November 2019.




	Each of the three volumes won the National Book Prize, and are currently being translated into Spanish. In 2012, Vella’s novel ''MagnaTM Mater'' won 2nd prize in the category for young adults. ''Rokit'', her latest novel, is her first novel for adults.		== References ==

	It was published to critical and public acclaim in March 2017, and won the National Book Prize in 2018. Vella has also translated several books for children, two of which won the ''Terramaxka National Children’s Books Prize'' in 2015 and 2016.

	She lives in Brussels where she also directs the interdisciplinary performance art group Barumbara Collective. Their latest performance - Verbi: ''mill-bieb 'il ġewwa'' - was based on Vella's collection of short stories ''mill-bieb 'il ġewwa'' (take a look inside (me), which is due for publication later this year.
