SUMMARY:Screening of Vera Drake
DESCRIPTION:On International Safe Abortion Day the group 8th March 365 is proposing an activity to continue to discuss and rise awareness about women’s reproductive rights. We will screen the movie Vera Drake and we will give an overview about reproductive rights worldwide. \nVera Drake is a 2004 British film written and directed by Mike Leigh. Vera is a working-class woman who performs illegal abortions in London in 1950. The director incorporates in the movie elements of his own childhood\, moreover he shows differences between working-class women and upper-class women regarding abortion when it was illegal. The movie won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. \n28th September was first celebrated as a day of action for decriminalization of abortion in Latin America and The Caribbean in 1990. In 2011\, the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) declared the 28 September as International Safe Abortion Day.

SUMMARY:Meet the Sea Rescue NGOs
DESCRIPTION:Who are these NGOs? Who funds them? Are they really in cahoots with traffickers? Do they incentivise migrants to embark on such a perilous journey? What happens when rescue NGOs are no longer allowed to operate? \nMuch has been said in the past few months about the sea rescue of refugees leaving Libya in their bid to reach Europe. Standoffs between Italy\, Malta and other countries concerning the disembarkation of people saved at sea dominated news headlines\, and we have all seen the shocking images of dead bodies washed ashore on the Libyan coasts. \nAmidst all this\, a spotlight was shone on the NGOs saving people from rickety boats or dinghies. Currently\, many of the NGO vessels are docked in Malta and permission to leave the port is being denied by Maltese authorities. \nThe public will have the opportunity to ask questions to those directly involved in NGO rescue operations. Tamino Böhn from Sea Watch\, Neeske Beckmann from Lifeline and Markus Groda from Sea Eye will outline their work and answer your questions this Friday 10th August. \nMichael Grech\, a philosophy lecturer at the University of Malta (Junior College)\, will moderate the session.

SUMMARY:Palk Ħieles / Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Inizjamed flimkien mal-Moviment Graffitti se torganizza Palk Ħieles ieħor nhar il-Ħamis\, 26 ta’ Lulju fit-8:00 ġewwa l-Maori fil-belt Valletta. Għal dan il-Palk Ħieles li jaħbat is-sitta u għoxrin wieħed se jkollna tema speċjali\, “In-nisa: vuċi għolja\, vuċi qawwija”. Ma jistax jonqos għalhekk li l-mistiedna speċjali tkun il-poetessa Maria Grech Ganado\, li kienet l-ewwel mara Maltija li nħatret full-time lecturer fl-Università ta’ Malta. Maria Grech Ganado twieldet Ħal Lija fl-1943 u għandha tlett itfal. Tikteb u ppublikat kemm bil-Malti u kemm bl-Ingliż\, u rebħet il-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb diversi drabi. Għadha kif ippublikat ġabra ta’ poeżiji bl-isem ta’ “Framed” permezz ta’ Merlin Publishers. Nafu fiċ-ċert li Maria Grech Ganado ma tridx tkun weħedha u għalhekk kulħadd huwa wkoll mistieden sabiex jaqra xi poeżija\, storja\, jagħmel xi stand-up\, jgħid xi ċajta\, ikanta kanzunetta oriġinali jew jesprimi dak li jħoss fuq it-tema. Jekk forsi ma tafux minn fejn tibdew\, għandkom tema ideali biex tixprunakom. Kull lingwa\, kull djalett\, kull aċċent huwa merħba bih. \n– – – – – \nOn Thursday\, 26th July\, Inizjamed together with Moviment Graffitti will be organising the 26th Open Mic at 8pm at Maori in Valletta. For this Open Mic\, together with a co-host we also have a theme\, “Women: say it loud\, say it proud”. It is only natural that as a special guest we have the special woman Maria Grech Ganado\, the first woman to be appointed as a full-time lecturer at the University of Malta. Maria Grech Ganado was born in Ħal Lija in 1943 and is a mother of three. She writes and has published in both Maltese and English. She has won the National Book Prize more than once. Recently she has published a collection of poems called ‘Framed’ through Merlin Publishers. Maria Grech Ganado does not want to be alone\, and the stage is open for everyone. You can read a poem\, a short story\, perform a stand-up\, tell a joke\, sing an original song\, the list is endless. If you’re unsure of what to write about\, the theme can be the perfect springboard. Every language\, every dialect\, every accent is more than welcome.

SUMMARY:Sea Bridge - Solidarity with Refugees at Sea and Ashore
DESCRIPTION:Civilian rescue vessels play an important role in saving lives of refugees in the Mediterranean: NGO vessels have rescued more than 120.000 lives in the Mediterranean since 2014. Lately\, political pressure from the EU has increased and led to the detention of rescue vessels in Italy and in Malta in an attempt to restrict immigration to Europe. This decision has led to a nearly complete absence of NGO rescue vessels in the search and rescue area and the death toll in June 2018 has been the highest in 2 years. Rescue vessels are needed urgently to prevent the loss of human lives! \nAs long as war\, conflicts\, inequality and poverty persist\, people will need to flee to safe places to protect their lives and build a future. When passing through Libya\, refugees are exposed to human rights abuses such as torture\, kidnapping\, forced labour and rape. Therefore\, rescue vessels need ports of safety in Europe where the lives and dignity of all will be protected. \nWe call on the EU and all European national governments to implement policies that protect human lives. We call for solidarity of all European countries to provide search and rescue and to shelter refugees from human rights abuses. \n

SUMMARY:Ports of Hope
DESCRIPTION:We feel the need to provide a space and opportunity to remember those who have lost their lives in their desperate effort to cross the Mediterranean Sea\, hoping to seek asylum\, to reach security and a better tomorrow. The horrific loss of life in the Mediterranean continues – somebody’s child\, parent\, brother\, sister\, friend\, spouse. Their lives mattered to their loved ones\, and they matter to us. Respect towards life and the innate dignity of each and every human being needs to remain central in political disputes and political discourse\, in the search of solutions for this human tragedy. \nThis ongoing tragedy must never be normalized. Death should not be an accepted side effect of seeking asylum. Europe must find solutions that honour life and not facilitate death. We know that there is no one solution\, but options for seeking asylum without loss of life must be found. \nWe will meet on Thursday evening (05.07)\, at Marsamxett Harbour\, Valletta (a little bit further up from Maori) at 1930hrs to remember those who have died\, to acknowledge those who continue to make the journey in their hope of seeking asylum in Europe\, and to send a message to those who enact deadly policies in our name: we will not turn away\, we are watching\, and we will hold you to account.

SUMMARY:Reżistenza Rock #2
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Moviment Graffitti’s second edition of Reżistenza Rock! Reżistenza Rock is a fundraising concert organised by Moviment Graffitti\, showcasing some of the best local alternative bands and musicians. DJ Zè Heckler will be spinning his selection before\, in-between and after the concert to keep you happy! \nSam Christie \nSam Christie played with quite a few bands such as Phobics and CEERA before deciding to go solo. He mostly writes folk/pop and is influenced by the likes of Nick Drake\, Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan. Check him out here. \nDouble Standard \nDOUBLE STANDARD is a punk/HC band that plays as fast as…! The guys\, all from different nationalities\, come together to deliver some brain-crushing stuff and legit primordial cosmology-inspired lyrics. Check out their latest cassette release entitled: DEMO-GOUGE TAPE \nPyramid Suns \nDelivered with fresh energy and indelibly shaped by prog and psychedelic elements\, Pyramid Sun’s song structures suggest a maturity that belies the band’s tender years. A blend of various elements melded together in a manner that flies in the face of convention\, theirs is a sound with plenty of rock edge. Their debut self-titled EP\, released in March 2016\, manages to both capture and project this edge through the engaging blend of solid rhythms and weaving grooves in the space of just three tracks. What is all the more special about Pyramid Suns is the pronounced retro vibe underpinning their grooves. \nWhy are Moviment Graffitti fundraising\, and what is done with the money collected? \nMoviment Graffitti (VO/0126) is an autonomous pressure group that has been active for over 24 years. In order to maintain our autonomy in practice\, we have always had a policy of not receiving funding from private companies or political parties. Thus\, Graffitti is entirely funded by supporters and individuals. \nWe have been on the forefront of several struggles for the protection of the environment\, social justice and human rights. To name just a few\, Graffitti protested the sale of the land that is now Portomaso and Smart City\, fought in campaigns to raise the minimum wage amongst many other worker struggles\, presented proposals for rent regulation in Malta\, was part of a Kamp Emerġenza Ambjent campaign which succeeded in gaining access to the foreshore at Manoel Island\, and has recently carried out a direct action at the PA concerning the approval of fuel stations on ODZ land. We also regularly host events such as talks and awareness-raising initiatives on issues related to social justice and environmental protection. All of this is done 100% voluntarily without pay. \nAll the money collected will be used for a lot of things. We have premises rents to pay\, banners and paints to buy\, sound systems to repair\, websites to maintain\, and a lot of tiny titbits that can add up to a lot of money over time. \nThanks in advance for your support!

SUMMARY:Not a Minute of Silence
DESCRIPTION:The working-group “Everyday 8th March”\, which forms part of Moviment Graffitti\, is holding an evening to remember Marielle Franco\, a Brazilian black woman\, mother and human and social rights’ activist who was killed on the 14th March this year. \nThree months after her death\, we will read some of Marielle Franco’s quotes\, give some information about her life and activism\, and read a document written by her partner after her assassination. We will also discuss intersectional feminism. The initiative will then continue with some feminist music. \nMarielle Franco was born and raised in Brazil\, in Complexo da Mare\, which has 130\,000 inhabitants in 16 favelas\, in the north of Rio de Janeiro. She presented numerous projects to strengthen women’s rights\, such as those concerning the accessibility of abortion. \nAfter getting involved in politics in 2007 to coordinate the state legislature’s Committee for the Defense of Human Rights and Citizenship\, she became a counselor in the Municipal Room of Rio de Janeiro with the coalition formed by the Socialist Party and Freedom and the Brazilian Communist Party in 2016. \nMarielle was an outspoken critic of police brutality\, extrajudicial killings and violations of human rights; she denounced the problems faced by African-American women and carried out investigations into murders that took place in favelas. \n“What is it to be a woman? What has each of us already failed to do or did with some level of difficulty because of gender identity\, because of the fact of “being a woman”? The question is not rhetorical\, it is objective\, it is to reflect on the day-to-day\, on the step-by-step of all the women\, on the majority of the population\, which unfortunately is under-represented”. \n“Being a black woman is resisting and surviving all the time…” (Marielle Franco).

SUMMARY:Screening of Obvious Child
DESCRIPTION:Moviment Graffitti is screening the movie ‘Obvious Child’\, a comedy-drama film written and directed by Gillian Robespierre (2014). \n‘Obvious Child’ looks at the story of Donna\, a twenty-something woman who ends up unexpectedly pregnant. She turns to her friends and family for advice\, and decides that the best decision for her is to get an abortion. The film follows Donna through the trials and tribulations of that decision. This is no tragic story\, however\, as these events are seen through Donna’s eyes\, who knows that\, ultimately\, this is the best decision for her. \nThe movie offers an unbiased look at the act of getting an abortion in the 21st century\, where it is freely accessible for women\, and all the highs and lows of life in between. \nThe film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17\, 2014 \nThis movie screening will be followed by some food and drinks\, as well as a short information session intended to provide some factual information about access to abortion in Malta\, compared to the rest of the world.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Movement for Trans Rights
DESCRIPTION:Moviment Graffitti is organising a workshop entitled “Understanding the Movement for Trans Rights”. The workshop will be facilitated by Ruth Baldacchino\, Co-Secretary General of ILGA World. \nThe discourse on trans rights has recently become more visible\, however there are still gaps in understanding trans issues\, and it is clear we all have much to learn from the trans community / movement. \nThis workshop will discuss the following questions: What does it mean to be trans? What identities fall under the ‘trans umbrella’? What does trans history look like? \nIt will also shed light on the evolution of trans movements and focus on the history of trans identities and the organising that has grown out of the trans/queer movements and culture. \nIt will address transphobic\, cissexist and heterosexist language that is often used when discussing trans issues\, and discuss the needs and challenges of trans people in Malta. The discussion hopes to provide knowledge and tools that support trans people and community in Malta.

SUMMARY:(Re)claiming Public Spaces. Queer-Feminist Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Closing our program of activities connected to International Women’s Day is the workshop & talk titled:  \n(Re)claiming public spaces. Queer-Feminist street-art against street harassment \nKl*aUs is a queer-feminist collective from Graz (Austria) which works on the topic of (street) harassment\, power-relations in public space and possibilities of queer-feminist interventions as a way to reclaim the streets and to fight back; a strategy of self-empowerment. \nThe workshop and talk shall be an exchange of experiences\, ideas and strategies related to issues like repression against women*\, gendered hierarchies and power relations in public spaces.  \nRelated questions that can be addressed are:  \n\nWhat is public space? \nTo whom does it belong and which roles does it imprint on people? \nWhich norms do I have to fulfill in order to have a place in public space? \nWhich mechanisms exclude people from public spaces? \n\nIn order to go beyond theoretical inquiry\, important issues such as solidarity\, support\, the need of feminist allies and active strategies against discriminatory practices shall be tackled.  \nMoreover\, some examples of queer-feminist interventions will be presented. \nFollowed by food\, drinks and music. \nOpen to all genders. \nFULL PROGRAM – International Women’s Day \n\nThu 15th Feb at 6:30pm: SCREENING OF “IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK” at 67\, Strait Street\, Valletta\nTue 20th Feb at 6:00pm: KURDISTAN: A WOMEN’S REVOLUTION at the GWU Building\, South Street\, Valletta\nFri 23rd Feb at 6:00pm: WOMEN WHO FIGHT: FROM THE ITALIAN PARTISANS TO THE ROJAVA REVOLUTION at 67\, Strait Street\, Valleta\nSat 3rd Mar at 10:30am: TALK ON PATRIARCHY AND MISOGYNY at the Multipurpose Hall\, Ministry for Education and Employment\, Great Siege Road\, Floriana\nThu 8th Mar at 5:30pm: WOMEN’S DAY MARCH in Valletta\nThu 8th Mar at 8:00pm: NO FIGHT WITHOUT FESTA at Maori\, Triq il-Lanca\, Valletta\nSat 10th Mar at 6:00pm: PRESENTATION ON FEMINIST STREET ART at 67\, Strait Street\, Valletta

SUMMARY:Women's Day March 2018 - Semma' Leħnek
DESCRIPTION:On International Women’s Day\, we’ll march down Republic Street together to denounce violence against women and all forms of sexism. After the march\, around 8pm\, we”ll meet at Maori Bar (Valletta) for some drinks and music. \nViolence against women is not decreasing in numbers and usually involves family or (ex)partners\, not just a few delinquent individuals. Gender-based violence is deep-rooted\, inseparable from the reality of structural gender inequality that manifests itself in social attitudes\, gender roles and dominant discourses. \nWe see the necessity to raise our voices\, keep the fight going and build new solidarity networks with all women\, individuals and organisations that refuse to tolerate the fact that some husbands\, partners\, brothers and fathers still abuse women. \nWe are also aware of the difficulties that women in Malta face as mothers and workers. In a market where rent and property prices have spiralled out of control\, compounded by low wages and the increasing cost of living\, people like single mothers and women with abusive partners are finding it harder to build an independent living. Specific difficulties are also experienced by Trans women\, facing transphobia and financial burdens\, as well as by migrant women\, often living precarious lives due to temporary documentation and\, at times\, a hostile social environment. \nWe have to do something now if we wish that the younger generations grow up in a better Malta\, where any form of gender-based abuse will no longer form part of our lives. \nWe call onto all women\, LGBTQI persons and all individuals who feel the need to fight gender inequality to unify on 8th March and raise their voices:\nStop Violence Against Women Now!\nStop Gender-Based Violence! \nThe march is being organised by Moviment Graffitti\, Women’s Rights Foundation\, Gender Equality Malta\, Men Against Violence and Integra Foundation. It has also been endorsed by the: Department of Gender Studies\, Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM)\, aditus Foundation\, Żminijietna – Voice of the Left\, Gay-Straight Alliance MCAST (GSAM) and the Association for Equality (A4E). \nEveryone is invited to participate! \nFULL PROGRAM – International Women’s Day \n\nThu 15th Feb at 6:30pm: SCREENING OF “IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK” at 67\, Strait Street\, Valletta\nTue 20th Feb at 6:00pm: KURDISTAN: A WOMEN’S REVOLUTION at the GWU Building\, South Street\, Valletta\nFri 23rd Feb at 6:00pm: WOMEN WHO FIGHT: FROM THE ITALIAN PARTISANS TO THE ROJAVA REVOLUTION at 67\, Strait Street\, Valleta\nSat 3rd Mar at 10:30am: TALK ON PATRIARCHY AND MISOGYNY at the Multipurpose Hall\, Ministry for Education and Employment\, Great Siege Road\, Floriana\nThu 8th Mar at 5:30pm: WOMEN’S DAY MARCH in Valletta\nThu 8th Mar at 8:00pm: NO FIGHT WITHOUT FESTA at Maori\, Triq il-Lanca\, Valletta\nSat 10th Mar at 6:00pm: PRESENTATION ON FEMINIST STREET ART at 67\, Strait Street\, Valletta

SUMMARY:Patriarchy\, Misogyny and Men
DESCRIPTION:As part of the initiatives connected to International Women’s Day 2018\, Moviment Graffitti is organizing a talk entitled “Patriarchy\, Misogyny…and men”. The talk will be delivered by Aleksandar Dimitrijevic\, from the organisation Men Against Violence \nWomen’s rights movements have experienced opposition at every step of the way\, from the moment first organised movements started forming till this very day. Each and every success story has been followed by a backlash\, with patriarchal structures closing ranks and deeply seethed misogyny swimming up to the surface and showing its real face.  \nThis talk will discuss opposition to emancipation of women in general and women’s rights movement in particular\, throughout the history\, modern times and present-day. It will look at the role that misogyny plays in reinforcing the status-quo. It will also give attention to the role that men played in opposing (and supporting) women’s movements.  \nUltimately\, the speaker will try to address the following questions: Considering that\, on surface level\, removing male privilege can be seen as a loss for men\, why should men support it? Isn’t it only normal that men have\, will and\, ultimately\, should oppose gender equality? How can gender equality be of benefit to men? Or put in plain terms: as men\, what’s in it for us?

SUMMARY:Screening - I Compagni

SUMMARY:Screening - Jimmy's Hall
DESCRIPTION:Second part of Moviment Graffitti curating Kinemastik Film Klub trilogy is Jimmy’s Hall by Ken Loach. \nIn the 1920s\, political activist Jimmy Gralton built a dance hall in rural Ireland. As the hall grew in popularity\, its free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close. \nA decade later\, at the height of the Depression\, Jimmy returns from the US. The hall stands abandoned but as Jimmy sees the poverty and growing oppression in the village\, the leader and activist within him is stirred. He decides to reopen the hall\, and so takes on the established authorities of the church and the government.

SUMMARY:Screening - The Wanted 18
DESCRIPTION:Opening their residency at the Film Klub\, Moviment Graffitti kindly introduce us to one of the strangest chapters in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. \nIt’s 1987\, and the first Palestinian popular movement in the West Bank is rising. Residents want local alternatives to Israeli goods\, including milk\, which they’ve been buying from an Israeli company. And so begins the strange story of the 18 cows. \nAcclaimed Palestinian artist Amer Shomali\, who illustrated The Wanted 18 and co-directed it with veteran Canadian director Paul Cowan\, watched the Intifada unfold as a teenager\, from the Syrian refugee camp where he grew up. His family was from Beit Sahour\, a town he knew only from family stories and news reports on TV. And then he read a comic book about the cows\, depicting them as sassy bovines who see absurdity all around them.
