Placards Against Pinkwashing
2025-09-09 18:30 - 20:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for a discussion on pinkwashing and a workshop on making placards!
On Tuesday 9th September, Moviment Graffitti is organising a queer placard making event. This activity is part of the events during Pride week and the placards can be used during the Pride March on Saturday. The activity will be held at our premises, 67 Strait Street, Valletta and will start at 6.30 p.m.
The theme of the event is pinkwashing which refers to the practice of using LGBTQ+ rights and symbols to hide or justify systems of oppression or injustice.
The activity will start with three short informal presentations about the three themes: The genocide in Palestine, LGBTIQ+ Migrants, and Business Corporations. There will be some time for questions, clarifications and discussion. The second part will be dedicated to making the placards on the three themes. We will provide the materials for the placards.
The aim of this event is to challenge the use of LGBTQ+ struggles as a branding tool for states and businesses that continue to perpetuate exploitation and oppression. Through the messages on the placards we make, we want to denounce pinkwashing, and to express genuine solidarity with Palestinians, migrants, and all oppressed communities beyond rainbow capitalism.
Please join us for this fun and informative event and bring your friends along!
Background: Israel has long promoted itself as a queer-friendly state to obscure its ongoing genocide and occupation of Palestinians as well as the harassment and bullying of Palestinian members of the LGBTIQ+ community. Similarly, multinational corporations use Pride symbolism to present themselves as queer friendly while continuing to profit from unethical practices, the exploitation of workers and policies which do not benefit members of the LGBTIQ+ community. In Malta, pinkwashing also intersects with the realities of migration: queer and trans migrants are often celebrated as symbols of diversity, yet in practice, many face detention, racism, and repatriation policies.

Just be yourself. No judgement. Just Pride!

We would love to meet you there! Come and bring others with you.

Film Screening: Women Talking
2025-11-06 18:30 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us Thursday 6th November for the Film Screening: Women Talking
The 2022 film, directed by Sarah Polley, is a powerful adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel inspired by true events. It tells the story of a group of women in an isolated religious colony as they grapple with the aftermath of sexual violence, and come together to decide their future, their faith, and their freedom.
Women Talking is a moving reflection on gender-based violence, solidarity, and the collective courage it takes to resist oppression – themes that remain painfully relevant today.
This screening forms part of the lead-up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25th November, a global day of action and awareness.
The screening will be followed by an open discussion, and entrance is free.
Thursday 6th November at 6:30pm, at Moviment Graffitti premises (67 Strait Street, Valletta)
Accessibility: Please note that the venue has stairs.

Film Screening: The Teacher Who Promised the Sea
2026-04-17 19:00 - 22:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for the screening of The Teacher Who Promised the Sea, to remember the Second Spanish Republic.
The Teacher Who Promised the Sea (Spanish: El maestro que prometió el mar) is a 2023 Spanish historical drama film directed by Patricia Font. It tells the story of Catalan teacher Antoni Benaiges, who in 1935 is sent to a small village in the province of Burgos, where he introduces an innovative and inspiring teaching method. Antoni is a man who supports the revolutionary changes that the Second Republic was trying to implement in society.
The film also follows a present-day story: Ariadna, who seeks to find out what happened to her great-grandfather, who disappeared during the war.
El Día de la II República (Day of the Second Spanish Republic) takes place every year on the 14th of April. On that day in 1931, following democratic elections and the abdication and exile of King Alfonso XIII, the Second Republic was declared.
It was a democratic period. In just a few years, significant social and economic changes were implemented, such as granting women the right to vote, improving the education system, supporting cultural and scientific endeavours, challenging the privileges of the Church, and promoting a plurinational state, among others. This period was abruptly interrupted by a coup d’état in 1936, which triggered a three-year civil war, leaving more than 500,000 people dead and resulting in a fascist dictatorship that lasted 38 years.
Before the screening, Kor ReSister and AMU (Antifascist Musical Union) will sing a few songs related to the Spanish Second Republic.
Free entrance. Please note that there are stairs to access the venue.

Italian Resistance Songs - Workshop
2026-04-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join the Kor Re-Sisters for a couple of hours on Friday 24th April at 7pm to learn and practise some Italian Resistance songs together. We will meet at 67 Strait Street, Valletta.
No previous singing experience is required. We aim to create an encouraging, informal, and social space of collective singing and shared struggle.
We will learn well-known songs such as Bella Ciao and Fischia il Vento, as well as other Italian Resistance, partisan, and antifascist songs.
We will also sing the songs again together on Saturday 25th April (Italian Liberation Day) at around 6pm: https://www.facebook.com/events/3006777673045731
Lyrics will be provided.
Please note that the location has stairs.

Antifascist Bingo, Music, and Dinner
2026-04-25 17:00 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us on the occasion of Italian Liberation Day from Nazi-fascist occupation.
We will start at 5pm with two rounds of antifascist bingo. Through numbers, we will remember historical antifascist and resistance facts.
Afterwards, the public is invited to listen or join the Kor Re-Sisters as they sing resistance songs.
From 8pm, we will share a vegetarian dinner together (more details to come).
On 25 April 1945, the liberation of Italy from Nazi-fascist occupation was declared, thanks to the resistance of various antifascist forces and the armed partisan movement.
Today, more than ever, our world is being threatened again by the far-right and recent fascist movements. But, as Chumbawamba sing, “we’ll never rest again, until every fascist dies!”
There is renewed hope in Italy after the younger generation stood together to vote no in the last referendum, defending democracy, justice, and the antifascist constitution.
Sing along with us, stay for our antifascist bingo and dinner!
Bingo and music are free. Please note that the venue is only accessible by stairs.

Kwirżitajiet mill-Belt: Mixja ma' Omar N'Shea
2026-05-22 18:00 - 20:00 | The Phoenicia Malta, VGW4+5V, Floriana, Malta
Nhar il-Ġimgħa, 22 ta’ Mejju, il-Moviment Graffitti flimkien mal-MGRM se jorganizza mixja interessanti oħra mis-sensiela tal-Kwirżitajiet. Din id-darba Omar N’Shea se joħodna lura fil-passat bir-rakkonti tiegħu u kwirżitajiet oħra dwar imkejjen ewlenin marbutin mal-komunità LGBTIQ+ madwar il-Belt u l-Furjana.
Se niltaqgħu fil-6.00 ta’ filgħaxija taħt l-ajkla, faċċata tal-Phoenicia fejn jieqfu l-karozzi tal-linja. Taħt l-ajkla kien wieħed mill-ispazji fejn kien isir il-ħufar fil-passat u fejn speċjalment l-irġiel gay kienu spiss jiltaqgħu.
Din il-mixja se ssir biex infakkru l-Jum Internazzjonali kontra l-Omofobija, l-Bifobija u t-Transfobija (IDAHOBIT), fi kliem ieħor huwa l-jum fejn niftakru f’kemm hawn persuni li jsofru mibgħeda, diskriminazzjoni, preġudizzji u inġustizzji minħabba li ma jikkonformawx mal-aspettattivi soċjali u kulturali tal-ġeneru u s-sesswalità.
Il-Moviment Graffitti dejjem jimmarka dan il-jum u jagħtih l-importanza li tixraqlu għax nemmnu li kull persuna għandha dritt tesprimi u tgħix il-ġeneru u s-sesswalità tagħha kif tixtieq hi mingħajr persekuzzjoni, mibgħeda u diskriminazzjoni. Madwar id-dinja għad hawn ħafna membri tal-komunità LGBTIQ+ li mhux biss mhumiex aċċettati u jkollhom jinħbew u jgħixu fil-biża’ imma li jiġu ppersegwitati, mitfugħin il-ħabs, ittorturati u maqtulin. F’Malta għalkemm għamilna passi kbar fil-qasam legali, ma jfissirx li l-istigma u l-ibbuljar inqerdu u m’hawnx omofobija, bifobija u transfobija.
Nisperaw li narawkom biex flimkien insiru nafu ftit kurżitajiet mill-passat kwir dwar il-Belt u l-Furjana.
Omar N’Shea huwa akkademiku, kittieb u riċerkatur.
L-informazzjoni se tingħata bil-Malti.
