CHILDREN 404 movie screening 8 december

Internation Human Rights Day

On the occasion of the International Human Rights Day on 10th of December, “Movie that Matters”. Tirana Ekspres, in collaboration with Aleanca Kundër Diskriminimit LGBT, Pink Embassy and OMSA- Open Mind Spectrum Albania has the pleasure to screen the movie “Children 404”. We invite everybody to join an open discussion which will take part after the movie, with representatives of the 3 invited organisations.

Children 404: By Pavel Loparev and Askold Kurov | Russia | 2014 | 70min

“In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin passed a bill forbidding the “promotion of nontraditional sexual relations to minors.” LGBT youth, now defenseless against insults and intimidation under this “gay propaganda” law, are considered sick, sinful and abnormal. Psychologists, teachers and even parents can be fined or imprisoned for supporting them. Forty-five Russian teens and tweens share their stories through anonymous interviews and video diaries. They detail their humiliations and discriminations, as well as their courageous stands against bullies. Their testimonies are collected online as the Children 404 project, named after the common “error 404 – page not found” web message. The support group’s founder struggles within the system to bring public attention and empathy to the victims of this government-endorsed hate, while activist Pasha decides he must leave his homeland altogether if he hopes to find a boyfriend and lead a normal life. Has a new Stone Age arrived in Russia?” (Angie Driscol, Hot Docs)

The movie is provided by the Dutch Embassy.

The screening will start at 7 pm on 8th december and take place at Tirana Ekspres.

LITERATURE NIGHTS #2 19 november

On the Road to Babadag-Andrzej Stasiuk

What is travel writing? A litany of exploits? An amble into the unknown? A mere recounting of facts and faces, days and names? A celebration of unfettered freedom?

For Andrzej Stasiuk, perhaps, it’s an exploration of the disparate national psychologies of the world. His prize-winning travelogue, “On the Road to Babadag”, takes us along the Eastern European corridor from his native Poland southward to Albania in an earnest attempt to record his impressions of the landscapes and geographies and human detritus and personalities experienced along the way. In doing so, he raises the question: In what ways does our material culture and physical surroundings contribute to the collective psyche of our nations?

In reading together, these are the questions we’ll ask and explore, and perhaps these are the questions we’ll answer.

Join us on this literary voyage every Wednesday evening at 18:30

In the first episode we will discuss creative ways of having pleasant literature nights and introduce the chosen book.

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.

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!

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!
