An exhibition that arises from the desire to open a space for reflection on Albania – through stories, encounters, and shared perspectives. A project that takes shape through dialogue with people of Albanian origin, travelers who have crossed the country, and members of the second generation who grew up between multiple cultures.

From conversations, open doors, and narratives of a still-close past, personal memories emerge, fragments of everyday life, and stories passed from generation to generation. The Albanian community in Trentino-South Tyrol lives among us every day – and yet their stories often remain unheard. In Laives, it is the people themselves who speak through a series of interviews: they tell of departure and arrival, of belonging and change – in an authentic dialogue that gives voice and presence to those who often remain in the background.

The exhibition thus becomes a meeting point between perspectives and cultures, a space where individual stories become the foundation for exchange and mutual understanding.
