The Open Streets Day is a one day event dedicated to providing local opportunities to people to be physically active using the public streets in urban areas.
MOVE, a Maltese NGO member of ISCA which works within culture and physical education, invited me to participate in the Open Streets Day 2019 events organised in the main square of Żejtun.
Whilst streets were closed for cars and made accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, I was requested to decorate the main street with a written poem in Maltese language. The installation was executed in a freehand technique using coloured chalk.
The poetry read:
Fit-triq
id-daħk tat-tfal,
il-ballun,
iċ-ċrieki,
il-lastiku,
iż-Żejtun.
Fit-triq
in-nannu,
in-nanna,
kitarra u trumbetta;
il-banda.
Fit-triq
in-nies
u mhux karozzi.
Fit-triq jien ngħix
maltemp jew bnazzi.
Kultura ta’ dari,
kultura ta’ llum.
Fit-triq noħlom il-futur.
