The balloon has long been one of the most beloved games for children. The interaction with nature, the wind and the flight of birds have been and always remains an incomparable sensation. Bringing back such an activity in the time we live in, with the rapid digitization that is happening, is challenging, however, it makes us remind ourselves of the importance of contact with nature and physical activity for children of all ages.
The day of balloons was held on the 8th of May at the kiter field at the artificial lake of Tirana. Children of all ages were invited to join the activity. Participants: Children with the help of their parents were invited to create their own handmade balloons. The event was accompanied by music a music concert and other fun activities.

We came together to learn more about the content of the artworks but also the artistic reality in the city, the concerns and the steps that can be taken to make everyone’s contribution even more valuable.
MEET SOME OF THE ARTISTS
Albi Yzo
To create in our contemporary era, it is in my opinion, to be committed to choosing different forms of expression while preserving the essence of ourselves, so that this energy is distributed in the time and space in which we live
Art, for me, is the ability of the mind to produce works, which society will put in function of its aesthetic and cultural improvement. My work clearly shows my interest in beauty, my ontological search for innovation, undeniable heterogeneity, love for man that he is sublime.
The balance and harmony between them constitute what can be special about my work.
Hert’ha Pataj
My name is Hert’ha Pataj, I was born in May 6, 2001 in Tirana. At an early age i took interest on art and persuid it on my own. I finished high school at “Petro Nini Luarasi” and currently I study in Faculty of Applied Science and Economy, in the Art & Design Departement. I am doing an intership at a marketing company for design and advertisement and also i work online from time to time also as a designer.
My objective was architecture for a long time until i got myself more involved with art, which made my objective change to Art & Design. A lot of my art is influenced by a lot of artist, painters, graphists from different eras and also from music, which is where i find myself the most inspired, espacially in what concept I will base what I am going to create on.
Kristian Zara
In my artistic research, the combination of activities along with spiritual manifestation of psyche are already an important part of my studies as an artist. I use the human figure through which I can express all the artistic, philosophical observations that stem from an uninterrupted process of meditation and analysis.
Observing the interaction between the inner and outer world, man and society, nature and humanity, I often happens to immerse myself in a conversation with the former unknown.
Despite the fact that I use someone else’s image, the unknown self is a part of myself which in turn becomes the self-subject (subject) and object to be observed and developed conceptually.
Enea Ziu
In a society where man is living more within his mind, or virtual world, I want to put apparently the importance of social and family relationships, relationships with the space where we live and the objects that surround us. Painting for me is the perpetuation of a moment, be it and ordinary, real or imaginary. Spontaneous moments from everyday life occupy a part of important in my creativity. These moments not only reveal my feelings and perceptions on reality but also reveal the process of creation itself.
Photo & Art Book was the title of the exhibition opened in the premises of TE' Galeria on April 15, 2022 by the third-year students of the Department of Art & Design (DAD), at the Albanian University. The exhibition was open to the public until April 24 and about 30 photographs and 20 art books made with different techniques were presented. Each work presented a very personal and unique point of view.

Short Bio
Kam studiuar për fotografi kur isha në fillim të 20-ave. Pata fatin të kisha një nga profesorët më magjepsës, i cili më mësoi jo vetëm se si të bëja fotografi, por edhe se si të doja dhe të jetoja më brenda saj, Shpend Bengu. Unë gjithmonë kam qenë e interesuar në portrete njerëzore dhe në thelb lakuriqësia ishte një Rrufe në qiell të hapur. Kam thënë shpesh nëse do të dija të pikturoja nuk do bëhesha asnjëherë fotografe, por kur dëgjoja që fotot e mia i quanin “piktura” kuptova se asgjë nuk ndodh pa arsye “ex nilhilo nihil fit”.
Ekspozitën time të parë e kam hapur me Rezarta Skendaj, në vitin 2012. Ai ishte hapi i pare dhe sigurisht jo i fundit. Ekspozita “THE HIDDEN FEMALE IDENTITY” e cila përfshinte foto dhe skica ishte një ekspozitë mbi të cilën u fol shumë.
Në vitin 2016 hap ekspozitën e parë personale me nudo në ambientet e Qendrës Rinore Tiranë. Titulli i ekspozitës ishte “THE UNCOVERED MUSE”. Ekspozita u transferua edhe në Shkodër ku u mundësua nga Mirsad Basha (Eko Mëndje) në po të njëjtin vit.
Në vitin 2018 hapet ekspozita ime e tretë me titullin “MY BODY IS A CAGE” pranë ambienteve të Destil.
Janë shkruar shumë e thënë pak por kënaqesitë që kam marr janë po të njejta si ato vendngjarje.
Mbrëmjen e 18 Shkurtit, në hapsirën Te’ Galeria nisëm ciklin e mbrëmjeve kushtuar filmit, Kino Screening.
E hapëm siparin me dy filma dokumentarë të shkurtër portet, të dy regjizorëve të rinj që aktualisht vazhdojnë studimet master në Universitetin e Arteve. Dy filma tepër intim dhe të sinqertë për dy njerëz me një botë të madhe. “Harmoni” titullohej filmi i Klaudia Pashnjarit. Një lidhje e ngushtë midis njeriut dhe natyrës. Domethënia e ekszistencës. Dhurata e të jeturit në nënën natyrë. Harmonia shpirtërore, fizike dhe mendore nëpërmjet syve të një njeriu që vendosi t’i jepet plotësisht natyrës.
Dhe filmi i dytë që u shfaq për publikun titullohej “Dritarja Blu e Gurit”. Jetesa e një ëndërrimtari të moshuar i cili përballet me mungesat e tij, pa u dorëzuar.
