SUMMARY:GRAFF-Thrifty: Pop-Up Thrift Shop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday 26th April for GRAFF-Thrifty\, our pop-up thrift shop! \nIt 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. \nOne 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. \nYou can pop in anytime between 11am – 4pm at our premises (67\, Strait Street\, Valletta). See you there!

SUMMARY:Manoel Island: Post Għalina - Campaign Launch
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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? \nDo you want to see more accessible public spaces in Malta? Join us for the launch of this campaign on Saturday 29th March at 10am! \nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/KnkwouGpeLBA263C9 \n****** \nManoel 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. \nIl-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? \nTixtieq tara aktar spazji pubbliċi aċċessibbli f’Malta? Mela ejja ngħaqad magħna s-Sibt 29 ta’ Marzu fl-10am għat-tnedija ta’ din il-kampanja! \nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/KnkwouGpeLBA263C9

SUMMARY:Detention is NOT a Solution - Protest
DESCRIPTION: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. \nVulnerable 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. \nVulnerable people\, women and children\, LGBTQ+ individuals\, migrants traumatised by shipwreck\, and people with special needs should never be imprisoned. \nWe call on the authorities to: \n\nRelease all vulnerable persons and children from detention immediately\, including members of our LGBTQ+ community;\nIncrease transparency at Safi and allow NGOs and legal counsels greater access;\nHalt the practice of detaining people for extended periods of time who pose no threat to the community;\nExpand the use of alternatives to detention that are already well-established in Malta;\nHalt the raids that target long-standing members of our community\, whilst providing a pathway for those that remain undocumented to regularise their status.\n\n  \nWe 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. \nWe 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.

SUMMARY:Marċ għal Jum il-Mara - Kull Mara\, Kuljum\, Kullimkien
DESCRIPTION:Ingħaqdu magħna għal marċ il-Belt Valletta\, fl-okkażjoni ta’ Jum il-Mara. \nEjjew 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. \nDin 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. \nGħal 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. \nLil 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. \nNiftakru 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. \nAħna – 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. \nNiltaqgħu 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). \n****** \nMarch for Women’s Day – Every Woman\, Every Day\, Everywhere \nJoin us for a march in Valletta\, on the occasion of International Women’s Day. \nCome 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. \nOur 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. \nFor 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. \nBeyond 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. \nWe 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. \nWe – 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. \nWe 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.

SUMMARY:Fort Chambray: The Truth we Cannot Demolish
DESCRIPTION:Is-saga tal-Forti Chambray\, li ilha sejra għal aktar minn 30 sena\, dejjem kienet ikkaratterizzata minn għadd ta’ kontroversji u deċiżjonijiet dubjużi. \nFit-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. \nIl-miżinformazzjoni madwar dan il-proġett hija waħda kbira. Il-poplu għandu dritt ikun jaf il-verità biex ikun kapaċi jifforma opinjoni infurmata. \nPereżempju\, 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? \nIngħaqdu magħna nhar is-Sibt 8 ta’ Frar fl-10.30am għal taħdita pubblika fejn se nkunu qed inwieġbu dawn il-mistoqsijiet u aktar. \n****** \nThe 30-year Fort Chambray saga has always been characterised by controversy and questionable decisions. \nOn 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. \nThe 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. \nFor 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? \nJoin us on Saturday 8 February at 10.30am for a public talk where we will be answering these questions and more.

SUMMARY:Aħna Pożittivi - World AIDS Day Rally 2024
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, 1st December\, Moviment Graffitti will be joining other organisations to commemorate World AIDS Day. This is an international day of remembrance for all those lost to the AIDS epidemic. \n\n To mark this day\, a coalition of organisations\, Checkpoint Malta\, HIV Malta\, MGRM\, Moviment Graffitti\, LGBTI+ Gozo\, Allied Rainbow Communities – ARC and aditus\, will be organising We Are Positive: Time for Action – World AIDS Day Rally\, at Castille Square in Valletta at 11.00 a.m.\n The aim of the rally is to give visibility to HIV\, to fight the stigma that still surrounds HIV\, and to give a human face to HIV. The rally will also emphasise the importance of testing for HIV since that is the only way that HIV can be managed. Not knowing one’s status and not taking medication will lead to advanced HIV (AIDS).\nPeople living with HIV face a great deal of stigma to the extent that they often keep their status a secret. As a result\, they have very few sources of support. Additionally\, there is very little public awareness about this topic. Not many people may know that nowadays\, with regular medication\, the virus is controlled to the extent that it cannot be passed on to others during sex. Therefore people with HIV who have access to medication can live long and healthy lives. Therefore\, the coalition believes that HIV medication should be accessible to everyone regardless of nationality and residency status.\n The organisations will also remind the government that it has yet to fulfil its electoral promise of providing free preventive medication\, PrEP and PEP for those who are at risk of contracting HIV and spreading it to others. Malta has one of the highest HIV diagnoses in Europe and there are hundreds of people living with HIV in Malta.\n\nCome and join us in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

DESCRIPTION:“Għeruq Imħabblin”\, a site-specific performance created and choreographed by Chakib Zidi\, founder of @artivist_dance_theater_coll specifically for the “Fejn Kontu” exhibition. \nThe piece delves into the narratives of queer\, women and refugee communities\, using dance and music as a medium to express the complexities of love\, resilience\, and identity in the face of displacement and marginalization. \nThe performance is rooted in themes of cultural belonging and human rights\, aiming to give voice to those often silenced or overlooked. The collective\, founded by Zidi\, is known for its commitment to using art as a form of activism\, shedding light on social justice issues. This work not only celebrates diversity but also calls for solidarity and understanding. \nChoreographed and directed by: Chakib Zidi in collaboration with:\n– Dancers: Sarah Sammut\, Sarah Vella\, Nicole Zammit\, Lucy Keenan\n– Performers/Musicians: Sebastián Ortiz\, Ana Milena Lozada Avella\n– Music: SONGAIA\, Ana Milena Lozada Avella\, Sebastián Ortiz\, René Junior Juan Gaia. \nLocation: Società Dante Alighieri\, 134 Old Bakery Street\, Valletta. \n****** \n“Għeruq Imħabblin”\, prestazzjoni maħsuba għal spazju partikolari\, ġiet maħluqa b’koreografija ta’ Chakib Zidi\, il-fundatur tal-Artivist Dance Theatre Collective\, speċifikament għall-wirja “FEJN KONTU?! – 30 Sena ta’ Attiviżmu”. \nDan ix-xogħol jidħol fin-narrattivi tal-komunitajiet queer\, u l-komunitajiet tan-nisa u r-refuġjati\, billi juża ż-żfin u l-mużika bħala mezzi li jesprimu l-kumplessitajiet tal-imħabba\, ir-reżiljenza u l-identità fid-dawl tal-ispostament u l-emarġinazzjoni. \nIl-prestazzjoni ssib l-għeruq tagħha fit-temi tal-appartenenza kulturali u d-drittijiet tal-bniedem\, bil-għan li tagħti vuċi lil dawk li spiss jiġu msikkta jew injorati.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Vigil outside the U.S. Embassy in Malta
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity vigil outside the Embassy of the United States of America to Malta. We encourage you to wear black. \nWe the undersigned groups and individuals\, concerned about the growing military escalation in the Mediterranean region\, stand here today to deliver our message to the government and people of the United States of America. \nThe catastrophic situation in Gaza\, in Lebanon and the Middle East Region today was not inevitable. The failure to prevent this catastrophe is a horrifying failure of global and western diplomacy\, and will go down on history as one of humanity’s most shameful chapters since the second world war. Further deterioration may still be avoided. \nRecalling the letter sent on 13 October 2024 by the United States Government\, exhorting the Government of Israel to take concrete measures to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza over the following 30 days\, or face a reduction in the military support being funded by the United States taxpayer; \nRecalling the succession of warnings by the UN rapporteur\, by international bodies and by the United States Government of the possibility that war crimes were being committed by Israel in Gaza; \nWe note with the deepest concern that the humanitarian situation has continued to deteriorate further\, most critically in northern Gaza. \nWe further note that the deadline of 12 November\, set by the Government of the United States\, has come and gone\, however the concerns that were raised repeatedly by the United States Government have not yet been translated into meaningful action. \nWe urge you to take concrete steps to stop facilitating\, enabling\, and further aggravating the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe through the supply of weapons and military hardware to the region.

SUMMARY:FEJN KONTU?! - 30 Sena ta' Attiviżmu

SUMMARY:Nipprotesta? Nipprotesta! Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE: https://www.showshappening.com/magnazmien/nipprotesta-nipprotesta-workshop \nPicket lines\, posters\, and collective action–– protests and protesting are a necessity for social change. Protests were a frequent activity in the recent past\, but nowadays\, protesting has taken a different form. In this workshop collaboration between Magna Żmien and Moviment Graffitti\, we are presenting a day-long workshop which explores Malta’s protesting past whilst actively applying the contents of our archives to create material to make your voice heard. \nSince 1994\, Moviment Graffitti has been one of the leading non-governmental organisations fighting against injustices particularly related to the environment\, having organised 100s of protests and peaceful actions and since then\, they have amassed an archive documenting their activities as an organisation. Magna Żmien\, whilst also being an NGO\, focuses on preserving Maltese memory by digitalising analogue material related to Maltese life in the 20th century. \nThis workshop will include interventions from activists\, archivists and activists-archivists. \nWith interventions from activists\, archivists and activists-archivists\, this workshop is intended for: \n1. Anyone who wants to express themselves effectively when protesting;\n2. Whoever is curious about the creative aspects of archiving\n3. People who are curious to learn about the history of protesting in Malta;\n4. Anyone who wants to look into the contents of the two archives. \nPlease note that this workshop has a limited capacity. Reservations will be made on a first-come\, first served basis. \nFor persons who hold a European Disability Card\, 65+\, full-time students or low income earners\, a discounted rate is available. Kindly email info@magnazmien.com for more information. \nThis workshop will be in English. \n****** \nBILJETTI DISPONIBBLI MINN HAWN: https://www.showshappening.com/magnazmien/nipprotesta-nipprotesta-workshop \nKartelluni\, tabelli\, u azzjoni kollettiva –– il-protesti huma neċessità għall-bidla soċjali. Il-protesti kienu attivitajiet frekwenti fil-passat riċenti\, iżda llum il-ġurnata ħadu forma differenti. F’din il-workshop li hija kollaborazzjoni bejn Magna Żmien u Moviment Graffitti\, qed nippreżentaw workshop ta’ ġurnata li tesplora l-passat tal-protesti f’Malta\, filwaqt li napplikaw il-kontenuti mill-arkivji rispettivi tagħna b’mod biex noħolqu materjal għall-protesti. \nMill-1994\, il-Moviment Graffitti kienet waħda mill-għaqdiet mhux governattivi ewlenin li jiġġieldu kontra l-inġustizzji\, partikolarment dawk relatati mal-ambjent. Huma organizzaw mijiet ta’ protesti u azzjonijiet paċifiċi\, u minn dak iż-żmien ‘l hawn\, fasslu arkivju li jiddokumenta l-attivitajiet tagħhom bħala organizzazzjoni. Magna Żmien\, li wkoll hija entità mhux govvernattiva\, tiffoka fuq il-preservazzjoni tal-memorja Maltija billi tiddiġitalizza il-materjal analogu relatat mal-ħajja Maltija fis-seklu 20. \nDin il-workshop se tinkludi interventi minn attivisti\, arkivisti u attivisti-arkivisti. \nDin il-workshop hija mmirata lejn:\n1.Kull min jixtieq jesprimi ruħu b’mod effettiv waqt il-protesti;\n2.Min hu kurjuż dwar l-aspett kreattiv tal-arkivjar;\n3.Nies li jhuma kurjużi biex jitgħallmu dwar l-istorja tal-protesti f’Malta;\n4. Kull min jixtieq jesplora l-kontenut taż-żewġ arkivji. \nGħall-programm sħiħ tal-workshop\, ibagħtu messaġġ jew email lil info@magnazmien.com \nDin il-workshop għandha kapaċità limitata. Ir-riservazzjonijiet isiru fuq bażi first-come\, first-served. \nGħal persuni li għandhom European Disability Card\, għandhom 65+ sena\, studenti full-time jew individwi li għandhom dħul baxx\, hemm rata mnaqqsa disponibbli. Jekk jogħġbok ibgħat email lil info@magnazmien.com għal aktar informazzjoni. \nDin il-workshop ser tkun bl-Ingliż.

SUMMARY:One Year of Genocide
DESCRIPTION:It has been one year of genocide in Gaza and 76 years of relentless oppression by Israel against the Palestinian people. \nThe complicity of many Western countries in Israeli atrocities has allowed this unbearable situation to deteriorate further. Israel has now intensified its brutal aggression against the Lebanese people\, who have long endured the brunt of Israel’s terror and colonial ambitions. \nOn Sunday\, 6th October\, we will gather in Parliament Square\, Valletta\, to express our outrage at this unspeakable injustice. We aim to continue participating in the global movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people and all those targeted by Israeli violence and oppression. \nOver the past year\, more than 42\,000 Palestinians have been massacred in Gaza\, mostly children and women\, while the rest of the population faces starvation and disease. In the occupied West Bank\, Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians have greatly intensified\, and Israeli occupation forces have escalated their deadly assaults on villages\, refugee camps\, journalists\, and activists. \nFrom the outset\, the state of Israel has had a clear project to expel Palestinians from their land in order to colonise it. For Palestinians\, this has meant 76 years of occupation\, apartheid\, and regular massacres. \nHowever\, it has also meant 76 years of Palestinian resistance and a global struggle for the liberation of Palestine. We will continue to stand with the Palestinian people in their pursuit of justice and freedom. \nJoin us on Sunday\, 6th October\, at 3 pm. \nFREE PALESTINE   \n[Illustration by Dina Fawakhiri from the Free Palestine Project – https://freepalestineproject.com] \n****** \nGħaddiet sena ta’ ġenoċidju f’Gaża u għaddew 76 sena ta’ oppressjoni ħarxa mill-Iżrael fuq il-poplu Palestinjan. \nIl-kompliċità ta’ ħafna pajjiżi tal-Punent fl-atorċitajiet Iżraeljani ħallew din is-sitwazzjoni tal-waħx tmur mill-ħażin għall-agħar. L-Iżrael issa intensifika l-aggressjoni brutali tiegħu kontra l-poplu Libaniż\, li ilu għal żmien twil iġarrab it-terrur tal-ambizzjonijiet kolonjali Iżraeljani. \nNhar il-Ħadd 6 ta’ Ottubru ser niltaqgħu quddiem il-Parlament\, fil-Belt Valletta\, sabiex nesprimu r-rabja tagħna lejn din l-inġustizzja bla qies. L-għan tagħna huwa li nkomplu nkunu parti mill-moviment dinji ta’ solidarjetà mal-Palestina u ma’ dawk kollha fil-mira tal-vjolenza u l-oppressjoni Iżraeljana. \nMatul din l-aħħar sena\, 42\,000 Palestinjan safa’ immassakrat f’Gaża\, l-iktar tfal u nisa\, filwaqt li l-bqija tal-popolazzjoni qiegħda tmut bil-ġuħ u bil-mard. Fix-Xatt tal-Punent okkupat\, l-attakki tal-insedjamenti Iżraeljani żdiedu bil-kbir\, u l-forzi tal-okkupazzjoni Iżraeljana eskalaw l-aggressjonijiet qattiela tagħhom fuq irħula\, kampijiet tar-refuġjati\, ġurnalisti u attivisti. \nMill-bidu nett\, l-Iżrael kellu proġett ċar li jkeċċi l-Palestinjani minn dik l-art sabiex jeħodha hu. Għal Palestinjani\, dan fisser 76 sena ta’ okkupazzjoni\, apartheid u massakri. \nIżda dan fisser ukoll 76 sena ta’ reżistenza mill-poplu Palestinjan\, kif ukoll sforzi globali favur Palestina ħielsa. Aħna ser inkomplu ningħaqdu f’solidarjetà mal-poplu Palestinjan u nagħtuh l-appoġġ tagħna fit-tfittxija tiegħu tal-ġustizzja u l-ħelsien. \nIngħaqdu magħna nhar il-Ħadd\, 6 ta’ Ottubru\, fit-3pm. \nPALESTINA ĦIELSA   \n[Stampa ta’ Dina Fawakhiri mill-Free Palestine Project – https://freepalestineproject.com]
