Fort Chambray: The Truth we Cannot Demolish
2025-02-08 10:30 - 12:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Is-saga tal-Forti Chambray, li ilha sejra għal aktar minn 30 sena, dejjem kienet ikkaratterizzata minn għadd ta’ kontroversji u deċiżjonijiet dubjużi.
Fit-12 ta’ Diċembru li għadda, il-PA approvat it-tkissir tal-Barracks tal-Ingliżi fil-Forti Chambray u l-iżvilupp tal-Forti f’kumpless mostruż ta’ appartamenti, aparthotel u stabbilimenti kummerċjali.
Il-miżinformazzjoni madwar dan il-proġett hija waħda kbira. Il-poplu għandu dritt ikun jaf il-verità biex ikun kapaċi jifforma opinjoni infurmata.
Pereżempju, huwa minnu li l-poplu se jkun jista’ jaċċessa l-Forti Chambray wara li dan jiġi żviluppat? Min se jkun qed iħallas għar-restawr tal-Forti Chambray, il-Gvern jew l-iżviluppaturi? Il-pedamenti tal-Forti Chambray, li huwa mibni fuq għolja tat-tafal, huma sodi biżżejjed biex jifilħu dan l-iżvilupp? U l-Barracks tal-Ingliżi, x’se jiġri minnhom?
Ingħaqdu magħna nhar is-Sibt 8 ta’ Frar fl-10.30am għal taħdita pubblika fejn se nkunu qed inwieġbu dawn il-mistoqsijiet u aktar.
******
The 30-year Fort Chambray saga has always been characterised by controversy and questionable decisions.
On 12 December 2024, the PA approved the demolition of the British Barracks and the development of Fort Chambray into a monstrous complex of apartments, an aparthotel and commercial establishments.
The misinformation that surrounds this project is robbing people of their right to know the truth. The public has the right to know the facts about the project to be able to form an informed opinion.
For instance, will the public be able to access Fort Chambray once it is developed? Who will be financially responsible for the Fort’s restoration, the Government or the developers? Are the Fort’s clay foundations stable enough for such a massive development? What will become of the British Barracks?
Join us on Saturday 8 February at 10.30am for a public talk where we will be answering these questions and more.

Marċ għal Jum il-Mara - Kull Mara, Kuljum, Kullimkien
2025-03-08 15:30 - 17:30 | Triton Fountain, Vjal Nelson, Valletta, Malta
Ingħaqdu magħna għal marċ il-Belt Valletta, fl-okkażjoni ta’ Jum il-Mara.
Ejjew u ħeġġu lil nisa oħra, ħbieb oltre mill-ġeneru, u lil dawk li jappoġġjawna biex jiġu magħkom. Ejjew b’kartelluni li jesprimu r-rabja, il-karba għad-drittijiet riproduttivi u l-ħolm tagħkom għal liberazzjoni femminista. It-titlu ta’ din is-sena jenfasizza kif nisa minn kundizzjonijiet ekonomiċi, oqsma soċjali u pajjiżi differenti spiss jitqabdu mal-istess ostakli.
Din is-sena qed nagħmlu enfasi fuq il-ġustizzja riproduttiva – id-dritt li jkollok it-tfal kif u meta tiddeċiedi int, id-dritt li ma jkollokx tfal, id-dritt li trabbi lil uliedek f’ambjent sikur, b’mod sostenibbli u f’ambjent li jipprijoritizza lil saħħithom. Nafu li l-kontraċezzjoni mhijiex aċċessibbli biżżejjed, li l-abort huwa kriminalizzat, nies b’kundizzjonijiet bħal endometriosi ma jirċevux l-għajnuna li għandhom bżonn, u li mhux kull persuna li jkollha ċ-ċiklu mestrwali tiflaħ tħallas għal prodotti neċessarji.
Għal nies li jridu jkollhom it-tfal – hemm biżżejjed appoġġ? Huma finanzjarjament stabbli biżżejjed biex ikunu jistgħu jrabbu t-tfal? Tniġġis, kostruzzjoni bl-addoċċ, nuqqas ta’ spazji ħodor – dan kollu għandu x’jaqsam mal-ġustizzja riproduttiva.
Lil hinn minn dan, ma nistgħux ninjoraw ir-realtà ta’ kuljum li n-nisa jiffaċċjaw – sessiżmu, fastidju, stalking, stupru, vjolenza verbali u fiżika, kummenti misoġeni, differenza medja inġusta fil-pagi tan-nisa u l-irġiel, u fil-qsim tax-xogħol tad-dar u tat-trobbija tat-tfal. Xi drabi dawn huma ovvji ħafna, imma kemm-il darba jkunu tant sottili li diffiċli tagħrafhom u tindirizzahom.
Niftakru wkoll fil-femmiċidji li saru f’Malta f’dawn l-aħħar snin. Nappellaw biex dawk fil-poter jiaħdmu għal bidla soċjali sinifikanti, biex ikollna trasformazzjoni ħolistika tas-soċjetà patrijarkali li ngħixu fiha.
Aħna – nisa, ħbieb oltre mill-ġeneru, trans, u alleati tagħna – jeħtieġ li nsemmgħu l-vuċi tagħna flimkien, biex niġġieldu kontra l-oppressjoni tal-ġeneru f’jum simboliku bħal Jum il-Mara kif ukoll kuljum u kullimkien għal kull mara.
Niltaqgħu fil-Pjazza Tritoni u nimxu fil-Belt Valletta, sakem ningabru fi Pjazza San Ġorġ biex nisimghu diskorsi, kant mill-Kor Re-Sisters, u żifna komunitarja minn Fran Zammit (appoġġjata mid-Dipartiment tal-Istudji taż-Żfin, fi ħdan l-Università ta’ Malta).

March for Women’s Day – Every Woman, Every Day, Everywhere
Join us for a march in Valletta, on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
Come with other women, non-binary friends, and allies, and bring placards voicing your anger and dreaming of a feminist liberation. This year’s title underlines how women from different social backgrounds, economic conditions, and diverse countries share the same struggles.
Our focus this year is on reproductive justice – the right to not have children, the right to have children, and the right to parent children in safe, healthy, and sustainable environments. We know that contraception is not accessible enough, abortion is criminalised, people with conditions like endometriosis lack care, and not everyone can afford period products.
For people who want to have children – is there enough support? Are people financially stable to be able to have and raise children? Pollution, over-construction, lack of green spaces – all of this relates to reproductive justice.
Beyond reproductive justice, we cannot ignore women’s everyday reality – facing sexism, harassment, stalking, rape, verbal and physical violence, misogynistic comments, an unjust pay gap and unfair sharing of parenting and housework. Sometimes these are very obvious, sometimes they are more subtle, which makes it harder to denounce and address these issues.
We must also continue to remember the femicides committed in Malta over the past years. We call for those in power to create meaningful change, and work towards societal transformation.
We – women, non-binary people, trans people, and allies – can use our voices to fight together against gender oppression, on a symbolic day like Women’s Day, as well as every day, everywhere, for every woman.
We will meet at Triton Fountain in Floriana, walk through Valletta, and gather in St. George’s Square to have speeches, songs by the Re-sisters Choir, and a community dance performance by Fran Zammit, supported by the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Malta.

BDS Workshop - Strategies & Tactics Against Genocide
2025-03-22 16:00 - 19:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for a workshop on BDS strategies and tactics against genocide, led by Fiona Ben Chekroun, the Europe co-coordinator at the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC).
The Palestinian-led movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a global campaign calling for boycotts, divestment and sanctions to be used to bring pressure on Israel to end its regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.
In this workshop, BDS and its campaigns, strategies, and tactics will be introduced, followed by group exercises on relevant campaigns in Malta.
After the workshop, we will share some food, drinks, and conversations!
This workshop is free, but please register using this online form: https://forms.gle/km9WNMKaaHrdgJ7G9
We’re meeting Saturday 22nd of March at 4pm, 67 Strait Street, Valletta (Moviment Graffitti premises).

Detention is NOT a Solution - Protest
2025-03-28 18:00 - 19:00 | Safi Detention Centre, Triq Carmelo Caruana, Safi, Malta
Join us at 18:00 on Friday, 28 March, in front of the Safi Detention Centre in order to stand in solidarity with our detained brothers and sisters.
Vulnerable people are being detained for up to two years in degrading, unhygienic conditions without adequate access to legal aid or contact with the outside world.
Vulnerable people, women and children, LGBTQ+ individuals, migrants traumatised by shipwreck, and people with special needs should never be imprisoned.
We call on the authorities to:

Release all vulnerable persons and children from detention immediately, including members of our LGBTQ+ community;
Increase transparency at Safi and allow NGOs and legal counsels greater access;
Halt the practice of detaining people for extended periods of time who pose no threat to the community;
Expand the use of alternatives to detention that are already well-established in Malta;
Halt the raids that target long-standing members of our community, whilst providing a pathway for those that remain undocumented to regularise their status.

We cannot abide and standby as the authorities imprison vulnerable members of our community for years on end in inhuman and degrading conditions without access to adequate legal aid.
We firmly believe that all people, not least children and vulnerable members of our communities, deserve liberty, the right to speedy due process and the right to a dignified existence.

Manoel Island: Post Għalina - Campaign Launch
2025-03-29 10:00 - 12:00 | Manoel Island, WG32+8J2, Gżira, Malta
Manoel Island can be a place for all of us to enjoy. It is possible – but we only have a short window of opportunity to act.
The concession between the Maltese Parliament and MIDI to develop Manoel Island into a residential and commercial hub is currently being renegotiated. This campaign aims to put the issue of Manoel Island back on the national agenda. We stand at a crossroads, a unique point in time where the future of Manoel Island is being questioned. Will it be used for commercial development, turned into luxury residences, a hotel, a casino or can it become a landmark park for all to enjoy in the most urbanised part of Malta?
Do you want to see more accessible public spaces in Malta? Join us for the launch of this campaign on Saturday 29th March at 10am!

Manoel Island jista’ jkun post li ngawduh kollha kemm aħna. Din mhijiex xi ħaġa impossibbli — iżda għandna biss tieqa żgħira ta’ opportunità u rridu naġixxu malajr.
Il-konċessjoni bejn il-Parlament Malti u l-MIDI biex Manoel Island tiġi żviluppata f’binjiet residenzjali u kummerċjali bħalissa qed tiġi nnegozjata mill-ġdid. L-għan ta’ din il-kampanja, għalhekk, huwa li nerġgħu nitfgħu lil Manoel Island fuq l-aġenda nazzjonali. Ninsabu f’salib it-toroq, f’mument uniku fejn il-futur ta’ Manoel Island qed jerġa’ jinfetaħ għal possibbiltajiet oħra. Se tintuża għal żvilupp kummerċjali u narawha tinbidel f’residenzi lussużi, lukanda, u każinò? Jew tista’ ssir park nazzjonali għal kulħadd li jagħti nifs ġdid fl-aktar żona urbanizzata ta’ Malta?
Tixtieq tara aktar spazji pubbliċi aċċessibbli f’Malta? Mela ejja ngħaqad magħna s-Sibt 29 ta’ Marzu fl-10am għat-tnedija ta’ din il-kampanja!

Join us on Saturday 26th April for GRAFF-Thrifty, our pop-up thrift shop!
It is no secret that fast fashion comes at a cost to the environment and human rights, exploiting workers and natural resources to deliver the newest trends, and garments are only worn a handful of times before being discarded.
One way to combat this and still change up your wardrobe is to buy second-hand. We’ll have a variety of clothes and accessories for affordable prices, and you’ll be supporting us to continue doing our work. We don’t get any private funding and rely exclusively on member and community donations to keep us going.
You can pop in anytime between 11am – 4pm at our premises (67, Strait Street, Valletta). See you there!

NAKBA 77 - March for a Free Palestine
2025-05-17 15:00 - 17:00 | Ġnien il-Kunsill tal-Ewropa, WF2W+R56, Ta' Xbiex, Malta
** POSTPONED TO SATURDAY 17TH MAY, 15:00 DUE TO WEATHER **
On Thursday, 15th May, we will march along the Gżira waterfront to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and raise our voices in solidarity for a free Palestine.
The Nakba – meaning The Catastrophe – refers to the mass killing and expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 to make way for the establishment of the Israeli state.
What followed – the theft of land and resources, mass imprisonments, apartheid, occupation, blockades, and now genocide – represents the continuation of the project of colonisation and oppression by Israel of the Palestinian people.
We call on Malta’s government, institutions, companies, and citizens to
Officially recognise the State of Palestine Enforce an arms embargo Sanction vessels, aircraft, and individuals involved in the arms trade supporting the genocide Prevent Israeli war criminals from entering our peaceful islands
We also call on Members of the European Parliament, European institutions, and European companies to
Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement until Israel complies with the rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Suspend Israel from participating in sports and cultural events, including the Eurovision Song Contest, following the precedent set with Russia after its invasion of Ukraine
We will gather at the Council of Europe Garden in Gżira at 6:00pm.
Bring Palestinian flags and keys — symbols of the Palestinian right and determination to return to their stolen homes and lands.

Gig Għal Gżira - Manoel Island Post Għalina
2025-05-18 20:00 - 23:00 | Storeroom, VGX2+M5, Ta' Xbiex, Malta
*TICKETS: https://fienta.com/manoel-island-sr*
The ‘Manoel Island Post Għalina’ Campaign seeks to bring the Manoel Island issue back to light at a time when the concession between the Maltese Parliament and MIDI is being renegotiated. We’re proposing a renegotiation that would turn Manoel Island into a national park instead of private apartments. This event is to raise funds for that campaign, which, of course, has its costs. The money raised during this event will go directly back into the campaign, and all musicians and event organisers involved are volunteers. For more information on the campaign itself, visit https://www.manoelislandcampaign.com.
Eyes to Argus, Karmaġenn (solo) and Marie Claire are well-known and loved by the local alternative music scene and have performed at Storeroom in the past. They’ve lovingly agreed to play as a contribution to the campaign.

Community Discussion on the Anti-Gender Movement: Origins, Tactics, and Impact
2025-05-22 18:30 - 20:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for a community discussion on the anti-gender movement, led by Maïté de Haan, Belgian policy officer for the LGBTQI+ rights advocacy organization Çavaria.
The rise of the anti-gender movement has significant implications for LGBTQI+ rights, women’s rights, and sexual and reproductive rights. What exactly is this movement? Why does it exist? Who are the key actors, and how do they work to influence society?
In this event we’ll examine their strategies, motivations, and the broader impacts of their activities. Together, we’ll explore how we can work collectively to protect and advance gender equality and human rights in the face of these challenges. Maïté’s presentation will be followed by a discussion and a moment to share food, drinks, and conversations.
We’re meeting Thursday 22nd of May at 6:30 pm, 67 Strait Street, Valletta (Moviment Graffitti premises).

2025-07-28 18:30 - 19:30 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
We are announcing our first action to stop the Bills that will dismantle all environmental and planning safeguards.
On Monday 28th July at 6pm – as the second reading of the drafts will be taking place in Parliament – we will gather as a united front of organisations and individuals for a Press Conference in front of Parliament. During the Press Conference, we will explain to the public the gravity of the situation we are facing.
We know this is very short notice.
We know it’s the middle of summer.
But such a serious situation demands immediate action.
Join us and spread the word.
More information about the Bills can be found here.

Act NOW Against Genocide in Gaza
2025-07-29 18:30 - 20:30 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
On Tuesday 29th July at 6:30pm, we will gather at the Triton Fountain in Valletta and march to Castille Square to demand meaningful action by the Maltese Government against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Children, women, and men in Gaza are currently being starved to death. After 1 year and 10 months of genocidal mass murder of civilians – including the deliberate targeting of journalists, healthcare professionals, aid workers, and aid seekers – Israel is now intensifying its genocide through mass starvation.
Images of children dying from hunger, and of the elderly collapsing to their deaths while waiting in vain for food, should trigger the strongest reaction from any human being with even a shred of empathy!
It is therefore deeply hurtful and outrageous that Western governments continue either to proactively support the genocidal state of Israel or to take no meaningful action to stop the Israeli-imposed mass starvation of the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Regrettably, the Maltese Government is also failing abysmally to take the actions within its power to oppose this genocide.
In contrast with other European countries such as Ireland and Spain, it has consistently failed to condemn Israel’s genocide on the international stage, has reneged twice on its promise to recognise the State of Palestine, and continues to allow ships flying the Maltese flag to transport weapons and military material to Israel.
In view of this inaction and complicity, on Tuesday we will be calling for:

A strong and unambiguous stand by the Maltese Government condemning Israel and calling for its sanctioning, including the cancellation of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The prohibition of ships flying the Maltese flag from transporting weapons and military material to Israel, along with a clear and enforced policy preventing ships carrying such material from entering Maltese waters or being serviced by vessels from Malta.
The immediate recognition by the Government of Malta of the State of Palestine.
