Art in post-communist Albania

Unfortunately, we seem to have succumbed to the idea that the story of our art, literature and culture, should be written after its main protagonists have died. We have likewise gotten used to the process being a product of archival research and thus served as unquestionably trustworthy. We are not used to writing history during its emergence. We do not have the habit of asking our contemporaries, of interviewing them, going inside their studios, hence becoming part of the process and leading them to openly express what they think about themselves and others. My modest contribution aims to fill this gap.
