Community, Safe Spaces and Activism in Malta: Narratives from Moviment Graffitti

Alegre Mouslim, J., Grima, R., Azzopardi, L. M., Sammut, D., & Abela, A. M. (2025). Community, Safe Spaces and Activism in Malta: Narratives from Moviment Graffitti. Protest5(1), 115-126. 

This article presents the experiences of three activists within Moviment Graffitti, the left-wing organisation on the small island state of Malta. The first narrative focuses on finding a home in feminist activism, the second one delves into protest music, and the last one explores the intimate moments in queer safe spaces. From these narratives, one recurring theme emerges: the importance of intimate and situated solidarities in activism. The balance between intimacy and efficiency, and how to reduce instances of burnout and negative experiences within activist communities, remain areas for further exploration.
