10616551_722687104491450_8855152334789798729_n” SOMEDAY ” – For The Sake Of Art.
A song and video written and produced by Janex, arranged by Gjergj Kacinari and directed by Donald Braho,Ergys Meta…Starring with the young actor of Academy of Arts Arbies Komoni and the young talented artist Edit Halili,in her first movie experience. This is more than a videosong,its kind of a short movie,and its the first song written and orchestrated by Janex. It illustrates freedom,a soul that requires eternal love … ; who dies hoping that Someday will be free! Impossible LOVE. Its about this poison that is injected to us everyday and which makes us die slowly every moment even more….

With no budget, no sponsor,only free will ,strong desire, excitement and a good team work spirit, it’s finally on something productive. One song,simple words, we wanted to make more vivid by giving it a certain shape and a symbolic meaning.
This is about collaboration .
This is to motivate young artists to work harder with no excuse!
Something simple ,something new ,something creative,some… SOMEDAY!
Come and collaborate ,come and support with your presence.
Feel free to ask questions
Thursday 30/10/2014, we share together experience,drinks,music,friends and much love!
THANK YOU!

Stay tuned:

21 CONTEMPORARY PASTS – PHOTO EXHIBITION

21 contemporary pasts [21 contemporary pasts]

Photo exhibition by Arba Bekteshi
19-21 September  2014
Ex-museum of natural sciences (ish-Muezu i Shkencave të Natyrës),  Rruga e Kavajës

The artist during her anthropologic work and observations in Tirana, has engaged with development efforts, creation of topoi and the role of art in re-appropriating, regenerating and reviving public spaces, while challengeing dominating discourses of urbanization and present possible ways for resistance.
She takes to examine aspects of the continuing migration to Tirana, and the aesthetic imported and created as a way to communication in the 21-shi neighbourhood. The outside looks of older buildings and those of newer villas, as ways for residents to communicate with each other. The looks of older buildings and their windows translate as efforts of people to either accept development changes in Tirana, or refuse the presence of the new. The doors of new villas transpose in and engage the city and the viewer in a discourse about an aesthetic reminiscent of a certain familiarity migrating from the village, – a marginal ‘new rural’.

Tirana Ekspres and the artist collaborate on an urgency to form pro-active, open spaces for cultural engagement, while contextualizing an edifying city space. Both parties endeavor to engage the viewers with their community and make room for participation in art practices informed by social change.

Practical note:

+++ Due to safety reasons we recommend a visit by daylight. Please, whenever you enter the area/building: Mind your step and wear comfy shoes! Attandance at your own risk! +++

The exhibition will open on Friday 17.00pm. Snacks & wine will be waiting.
As it is more or less a public space, you can visit the exhibition during the weekend at any time!

ALL EAGLES FEST

all eaglesALL EAGLES FEST – World Music Festival | 6-7-8 June 2014 | Backyard of National Museum

Entrance free!

All details, programm & pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-Eagles-Fest/1452823868298423

all eagles program

All Eagles is essentially a world music festival with a strong drive in promoting diversity within equality. Apart representative music from each country, which stands for the core pillar of the event, it also points out respective cultural aspects from the world.
The main idea is to hold a 3-day music event initially confined to and with a feasible focus on foreign embassies in Albania. While ethnic music from each country will be on the centre of the attention, contemporary adaptations and inter-genre fusions will be encouraged, as long as the very ethnic root of performances remains intact.
