JOIN THE SECOND ANNUAL MURAL CHALLENGE
The Second Annual International Mural & Graffiti Challenge is a global public art initiative by Aidez Nous à Aider, inviting artists to create work exploring this year’s theme: illegal pushbacks and border violence. Artists are encouraged to draw from real migrant testimonies and experiences to spark dialogue, raise awareness, and amplify stories that are often overlooked.
The winning artist will receive a two-week digital billboard campaign through Artcrush in March 2027, with their artwork displayed across more than 10,500 digital screens in Germany, Milan, and the Netherlands. Artists from anywhere in the world can participate. Deadline: December 18, 2026.
About Aidez nous a Aider
Aidez Nous à Aider is dedicated to promoting self-reliance through entrepreneurial projects that focus on skill development for migrants in Morocco. Our mission is to strengthen the ability of migrants to build stable, independent lives while improving the well-being of marginalized communities. As a grassroots movement, we work directly with migrants, providing practical training, tools, and support. Our goal is to create lasting opportunities for individuals to achieve self-sufficiency, personal growth, and positive change within their communities.
Recent Projects
At Aidez Nous à Aider, we support undocumented migrants through skill development in digital media, art, and environmental projects. We provide training in video editing, motion graphics, and digital marketing, along with mentorship opportunities. Through our Merch by Migrants shoe line, designed by migrants, we also create creative outlets and raise awareness about their stories. Our programs give migrants the tools and opportunities they need to build independent lives and move beyond marginalization.
Merch by Migrants
Merch by Migrants features shoes designed by migrants, created through workshops where they learn skills like digital design and pattern development. Police in Morocco often confiscate migrants’ shoes during detention, leaving them vulnerable, which gives the project added significance. Funds from each sale are saved for the artist, helping them purchase the tools and materials they need to use the skills learned in our courses and build an independent livelihood.
We are inviting people to join a $5/month solidarity contribution in support of migrants and the work we do alongside them. The idea is simple: if many people take part, small individual contributions add up to real, sustained impact that can support ongoing projects and amplify migrant voices. Every contribution matters, and every person who joins helps build a wider collective commitment to solidarity.
