Shkodran Memories: Stories of Communism Passed Down

Brief Description

Consulting and Development Partners (NGO) in partnership with The Site of Witness and Memory (which is a part of Shkodra Historical Museum) implemented the project “Shkodran Memories: Stories of Communism Passed Down”. Within the project video interviews with Shkodran survivors of the communist-era violence have been produced. The interviews, as well as the Site’s archive of newspaper press clippings, and survivor’s accounts in books, have served as the source material for young artists and media producers to tell their stories. Other results of the project were a photography exhibition of young artists exploring the communist legacy in Albania, a panel discussion with the elders, and a temporary art installation in a former prison’s cells in the museum. Media campaign allpwed for presence of this topic in the public discourse.
