TIRANA, October 20 /ATA/ The notorious former prison of Spaç was transformed this last weekend into a place of reflection, memory and dialogue, through the cultural activity “Beyond the Masks – Portraits and Memories”, organized by Tek Bunkeri within the framework of the “Spiritualization” project.
This activity brought together hundreds of participants from all over Albania and brought a new approach to the painful history of the country, through art and authentic testimonies.
The exhibition “Masks That Reveal” brought portraits of former political prisoners and former prison employees, accompanied by audio testimonies that exposed personal experiences, going beyond the usual narratives.
While the book “Areas – Eight Views on Spaç” was presented as an important contribution to the documentation and deep understanding of the past, encouraging continuous dialogue on it.
During this event, there was also played the animated film “Anti-museum”, exploring the idea of freedom and forbidden dreams through a symbolic and artistic language.
While the Human Library created a rare platform for interaction between generations, the young people had the opportunity to hear vivid stories from those who suffered in Spaç prison.
This activity was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports with the support of the EU4Culture grant program, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNOPS.
The activity aims not only to refresh the memory of the past, but also to promote healthy social reflection and the building of a culture of dialogue about history and freedom.
