The exhibition Ambitions maps out artistic positions and individual methodologies of women artists in Albania, Kosovo and the diaspora. The exhibition seeks to expand histories of women in the arts and to explore new critical terrains to recover and reimagine women's subjectivities in the history of arts. We are seeking to chart women’s non-unified narratives, individual methodologies and artistic positions and to insert them back into historical visual arts narratives.
The exhibition provides a platform to discuss these works produced by women and to consider diverse artistic trajectories that women artists have weaved in the context of post-Second World War until today. The exhibition draws on arts and culture research and collections of the National Gallery of Arts in Tirana and National Gallery of Kosovo in Prishtina closely examining the conditions and aesthetic regimes that have dictated artistic production and expressions, as well as women's place in them. The exhibition Ambitions is intended to be a contribution to local feminist discussions, rather than serve as an end in and of itself. It rests on four conceptual structures: Archives of the body; Grammar of memory; Willful anachronisms; and Poetic compendium.
