ALL 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 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.

Labour

It might be a good reason to reflect and to celebrate International Workers’ Day a bit longer… That’s why we are announcing May as a Month of Labour! Chosen movies are related to the issues of work with all its efforts, scarification and frustration. Don’t leave today’s work for tomorrow… And don’t miss our Movie Nights !

Photo exhibition opening “THE FORGOTTEN STATION” – Thursday, 1st May 2014, 19.00 @ Tirana Ekspres! Exhibition will be on display until May 8th.
Once the most important means of transportation in the country -for all people regardless their social background- today the train is a good opportunity to travel the poverty-stricken people out of poverty.
Tiranas train station, that actually doesn’t exist anymore, is completely disconnected from todays reality and dynamics of the capital.
For the majority of residents the train is no means of transport.
If you are curious about how life was back in the days -in the trains, on the railways, at the station: Come and see this exhibition!
