Launch Event for This is a Mirror

You are cordially invited to the book launch exhibition for This is a Mirror, an art book by Likana Cana.

Please set a date for Friday, 1 March 2024 at 8:00pm at Autostrada Hangar, ITP Prizren.

About the artbook:
This artbook is a collection of instructional poems that make use of the reader’s participation. Its main topic is an investigation into different ways to better relate to ourselves, by providing a service of care and hope through art. It pays tribute to the mind, each other, the planet, and the universe.

The mind has infinite dimensions, blue speaks the language of infinity. It opens a portal where the seen and unseen, conscious and unconscious merge. Blue lives in both planes of existence. Blue makes the invisible visible by giving what it surrounds an immaterial dimension.

This is done through instructional poems, inspired by the Fluxus movement, that focus more on the creative process rather than the artwork itself. As the readers perform the artist’s instructions, they are transformed from an audience into co-creators therefore the launch of the book is transformed into an exhibition where the audience can interact with the scores and understand the overall feeling of the book

StoryLab at Radio Urban FM

Radio Urban FM also with audiobooks! Every weekend, we read and listen together.

Radio Urban FM is starting on February 18, Sunday, with the book ‘Kosovacalypse’ by the author Artrit Bytyçi. Four Sundays in a row, starting at 10:00, you will be able to hear four stories that are part of this book. Kosovo found before the plague, before death, before a war; you must definitely hear Artrit’s work, read by Artrit himself, through these utopian stories.

‘Kosovacalypse’ comes in four parts, in four weekends starting on February 18. You will now be able to listen to the entire book, as well as the other books, on Urban FM YouTube and Spotify, in case you won’t be able to listen to the broadcasted reading on the radio.

Following the project, two more books will come in audiobook form. These two books will also be streamed on weekends. The weekend at Urban FM is now also for the book, alongside sports and music.

The project is supported by Ministria e Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sportit.
