Hi all 👋🏻

Today I want to share with you some StreetArt finds in Malta.🇲🇹 To break my posts of Paris up a bit 😉 This time we go to the ghost town, yes you read that right… a ghost town, of WHITE ROCKS in Pembroke Malta.

I visited this ghost town when I lived 1 year on the island of Malta in the month of October 2019.

The first photo will be my entry into the “CCC's Street Art Contest #114” hosted by @digi-me

Photographs in this post I took on my dying Canon…

Let’s have a look at my StreetArt finds in This ghost 👻 town today.

Artist: CLAP - MARK MEATAXE TAYLOR
Title: ”ONE WORLD”
Location: WHITE ROCKS ghost town in Pembroke Malta
Work Created in 2014 for the Sliema street art festival in Malta 🇲🇹

It’s a 3 story apartment building. So it is large…

The artists post on FB about it you find In this clickable link!

His Instagram you find here : Clap Meataxe Design

Check him out as he is known around the world for a few things, StreetArt / his graffiti is just one of them. Have a look at his profile when you are curious.

A few more captures of this amazing work:

Beautiful right…?

Do you see she is eating THE WORLD 🌎 ?

-I did edit the photos a bit… as there were some nasty things at the bottom of this mural… 🤓 for your viewing pleasure. 😉

Location of WHITE ROCKS on Google maps you find here:

It is rather a large complex that is abandon… 😎🤓
When I visited there were some families living in the open “to the elements” rooms. So I didn’t go to far into it.

Let me show you a few more murals I found in this Ghost town:


Artist(s) unknown…

The following text is standing out so much.

Artist: Maltese street artist C0ok3r

The mural has a very powerful meaning behind it.
I found in the following website : More information in this clickable link! (It is the source of the info that follows)

It States:
”On International Women’s Day, many people take the time to celebrate the women in their lives and those that have inspired them. But the day is also used to raise awareness regarding the battles and obstacles that have to overcome.

Local (Maltese) communications agency TBWA\ANG has teamed up with Victim Support Malta (VSM) to campaign against street harassment towards women in Malta, and they did so with an artistic flair.

Inspired by the Netflix series ‘She’s Gotta Have It’, TBWA/ANG commissioned local street artist C0ok3r to paint a mural over at White Rocks in Pembroke.

The mural reads “My name isn’t Lilly”, in reference to the classic (and notorious) Maltese cat call “Aw Lilly”.

For those of you who don’t know the reference that this graffiti is making, it’s actually following up on an international movement started by a Netflix series.”

“Cat calling is an international issue which disproportionately affects women” – VSM Director Krista Tabone said.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

And that’s all for todays #StreetArt post. Until the next one! 👋🏻😎
Hope you enjoyed my #photos of some more StreetArt finds in Malta this time. #haveyoubeenhere
Thank you for looking and reading 😊 🙏🏻 Stay tuned for more… 😉

Have a great day all 😎

That's a really cool piece. She's eating the world like an apple haha.
I wonder what the censored bits were 🤔
I bet they were dicks. People always draw dicks 🙄 hahaha 😂

Thanks @leaky20 😊 it is a cool piece indeed.
Hahaha yep, part of it. There were some dicks, some telephone numbers and nasty Maltese words too.
Normally I don’t censor on art. But this was a bit to much and took the eyes away from the beautiful artwork 😎

It is a beautiful and frankly eloquent art work, the perspective in the photos makes it look imposing... It's an interesting and beautiful thing to combine: Abandoned buildings with works of art!.... What a good record and excellent post @littlebee4 friend!.... Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much @jlinaresp I’m standing on a lower street so this 3 storey building does tower higher above me. I wanted to capture it from further away and not go up next to it.
I like the decoration of art works on abandon buildings to make them look a bit more beautiful. As they are ugly in the landscape, especially when nobody is doing something with it.
Thank you kindly, happy to share 👋🏻😊
Have an amazing Monday ☀️

You can tell that the buildings are thrashed!
How unfortunate!

She sure is @grindle 😎😊 her expression is so intense.

Lilly must have been a Maltese woman… since than. Lilly is used as a “catcall” by the man in Malta. This was a protest against it and raising awareness.
Enjoy your day further!
