Il-wirja se tinkludi wkoll xogħlijiet ta’ arti kontemporanji magħmulin minn artisti spirati mill-ġlieda għall-ġustizzja tal-Moviment Graffitti, li jinkludu installazzjonijiet ta’ midja varja u prestazzjonijiet live.
It-tnedija fis-7 ta’ Novembru fis-7pm se tinkludi xi diskorsi qosra. Il-pubbliku mistieden jattendi, iżur il-wirja, jixrob tazza nbid, u jsir jaf iktar fuq il-Moviment Graffitti. Dħul għall-wirja hu b’xejn, imma d-donazzjonijiet huma aċċettati u apprezzati.
