![Colourful Mural For Refugee Week Malta In Gżira](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/muralwe.jpg)
International artist Pep Herrera, known as pep_walls on social media, has created a colourful mural in Gżira for Refugee Week Malta.
‘During the last two weeks we’ve been designing and painting this mural painting in collaboration with the people residing at the Hal Far Open Centres and the neighbour communities of Gzira,sparking collective knowledge on the topic of “Our Home”.’
‘This it’s been an amazing experience and opportunity for me as an artist to meet and listen lots of experiences and witnesses from migrants residing in Malta, and the stigma they have to carry as refugees living in the island.’
‘With these kind of projects, we aim to reach a new point of view on these communities we share our country with, while we create opportunities for inclusion and common understanding.’
With the support of Dance Beyond Borders and Malta International Arts Festival, the mural has been created for all to visit and reflect over the challenges faced by refugees seeking safe harbour around the Mediterranean and Malta.
