Description
Picket 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.
Since 1995, 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. This workshop will include interventions from activists, archivists and activists-archivists.
With interventions from activists, archivists and activists-archivists, this workshop is intended for:
- Anyone who wants to express themselves effectively when protesting;
- Whoever is curious about the creative aspects of archiving
- People who are curious to learn about the history of protesting in Malta;
- Anyone who wants to look into the contents of the two archives.
