“Inside Out” Placemaking in Tirana, AL

Public Art in Tirana, Albania – made by the public.
The artwork entitled ‘Inside Out” consists of a series of wall sections decorated to resemble things found inside a home. The large mosaic is inspired by the Albanian carpets and makes up 3 ‘carpets’, with a fourth ‘carpet’ next to it, as though being hung to dry on the wall. The piece also contains 2 mirrored mosaics, and 1 chalk board to encourage citizen interaction. The artist is Jedidjah Slagter, who was assisted by members of the local community from age 14 to 70 years. The artwork was made possible through the cooperation of community members, personal funding, and neighborly labour. This project has no relation to Municipal or State government, and was supported by the artist, Ekphrasis Studio and Tedi, Rein, Juna, Dave, Ferid and all the viewers.

ART. 1

Art. 1 is a touring exhibition from some of Sweden’s more prominent museums, with accounts and reflections of the history and contemporary life of LGBT persons. The participating museums are The Swedish Police Museum, The Royal Armoury, The Nobel Museum, The National Museum of Science and Technology, The National Sports Museum, and The Swedish History Museum. These contributions are complemented with works from the Albanian exhibition Hide and Seek and objects and stories of the Albanian LGBT community.
Taking the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as its point of departure, Art. 1 wants to take a small step in the long struggle to secure equal rights for all mankind.
