TIRANA, May 29 /ATA/ – An exhibition titled “In the Flower of Youth” (“Në lule të rinisë…”) has opened at the former film studio “Kinostudio” complex in Tirana, showcasing works created by young people from the juvenile detention facility in Kavaja.
Tourism, Culture and Sports Minister Blendi Gonxhja invited art lovers to visit the exhibition, describing it as both an artistic and therapeutic project led by Renalda Ndreu.
The initiative explores identity, self-image and the need to be seen and heard.
Hosted in the HangArt space, the exhibition features stories and artwork by 30 young participants, documented by photographer Zeni Aliaj. The works were developed through a long creative process using clay, photography and communication as tools to express emotions, memories and personal experiences.
Each piece reflects fragments of the participants’ inner worlds, shaped through art therapy sessions and personal reflection.
The exhibition is a joint initiative involving the Centre for Openness and Dialogue (COD), Caritas Albania and the General Directorate of Prisons, and is presented at HangArt under an agreement between the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport and COD aimed at expanding cultural and creative spaces for reflection, dialogue and expression.
