Invitation

Tirana Ekspres invites you to contribute to the DREAM DREAMS project, to preserve lullabies together, as an important cultural heritage and as content important to the youngest generations for their more beautiful childhood. If you know a lullaby that is dear to you, that was sung to you as a child or that you sang it to your children, or you know someone from older generations who remember lullabies from old times, and you want it to enter the fund of preserved cultural heritage, please to send us a video or audio recording of the performance. Don’t be afraid of your singing, the richness you hide in your heart and memories is essential. If you do not have a Dictaphone, microphone and professional recording conditions, you can use your own and mobile phones. In this case, you need to shoot in silence and with enough light. In addition to the audio or video, send us: the name of the author of the lullaby, if known, the name of the person performing the lullaby, a short statement with a description of how you know the lullaby and where the lullaby comes from.

Artivism

On May 10, 2019 at Tirana Ekspres (The alternative art space of Tirana), the final exhibition of the ARTIVISM project was realized. In this exhibition was projected the documentation of the artistic works of contemporary artists Alketa Ramaj, Romeo Kodra, Ergin Zaloshnja, Sokol Peçi, Ani Muraku, Jorgjia Kallo, Ajet Rira.

Program

– Opening of the exhibition (greeting words)

– Presentation of realized artistic works

– Announcement of the “MANIFESTO FOR ARTIVISM”

– Conversation with participating artists

“The purpose of ARTIVISM is to communicate through any possible form of artistic expression such as video, street art, posters, installations, performances, some critical attitudes that contemporary Albanian artists have for the perception of community members on the environments where they live, in order to turn them into actors of exerting civic pressure on local authorities. ARTIVISM aims to use art as a genuine tool of political protest, without doing politics, to bring about a radical socio-cultural change that goes in the direction of the wishes and expectations of the community. (Andi Tepelena, project manager)
