Il-Moviment Graffitti Jiċċelebra 30 Sena ta’ Attiviżmu bil-Wirja ‘FEJN KONTU?!’
Il-Moviment Graffitti qed iħabbar it-tnedija ta’ ‘FEJN KONTU?!’, wirja kommomerattiva li timmarka 30 sena ta’ attiviżmu favur il-ġustizzja soċjali, ambjentali, u ekonomika f’Malta.

Sa mit-twaqqif tiegħu, minn grupp ta’ studenti fl-1994, il-Moviment Graffitti kellu sehem kruċjali f’bosta mill-movimenti soċjali l-iktar importanti f’Malta, mill-ħarsien ambjentali għad-drittijiet tal-ħaddiema, l-ugwaljanza, u l-aċċess għall-ispazji pubbliċi. ‘FEJN KONTU?!’ tagħti ħarsa lejn l-istorja tal-moviment, b’midja mill-arkivji, ritratti, u xogħol kreattiv ieħor li jirrifletti l-vjaġġ tal-moviment. Il-wirja se tinkludi wkoll xogħlijiet ta’ arti kontemporanji magħmulin minn artisti spirati mill-ġlieda għall-ġustizzja tal-Moviment Graffitti, li jinkludu installazzjonijiet ta’ midja varja u prestazzjonijiet live.
It-tnedija fis-7 ta’ Novembru fis-7pm se tinkludi xi diskorsi qosra. Il-pubbliku mistieden jattendi, iżur il-wirja, jixrob tazza nbid, u jsir jaf iktar fuq il-Moviment Graffitti. Dħul għall-wirja hu b’xejn, imma d-donazzjonijiet huma aċċettati u apprezzati.
Ftit mill-artisti li qed jesebixxu xogħolhom fil-wirja:
Julia Alegre Mouslim, Sam Alekksandra, Artivist Dance Theatre Collective, Graffitti Crochet Club, Lana Berty Spiteri, Antonella Bugeja, Charlene Galea, Claria Cutajar, Massimo Denaro, PONKS x Alberto Favaro, Bianca Killinger, Jelka Kretzschmar, Nik Keter, Riyad Khouri, Duška Malešević, Elio Mazzara, Hakki Ulas Tomac, Amy Theuma, and Francesca Zammit.
Din il-wirja hi biss waħda minn diversi attivitajiet li qed jiġu organizzati matul is-sena biex ifakkru t-tletin sena anniversarju tal-Moviment Graffitti. Il-wirja tirrifletti fuq il-kisbiet passati tal-moviment filwaqt li tiffoka fuq il-battalja għal soċjeta iktar ġusta u ekwa.
