The Skanderbeg Square is a beautiful place and space for inclusion in daily life in Tirana. The site welcomes you the way you are, the way you move, the way you sound and the way you appear. When I first came to the square I was overwhelmed by its diversity and complexity. I got inspired to use the inclusive concept of football to get in contact with locals in Tirana and create the Dreamteam of Skanderbeg Square.

A public space of an apartment building complex in Tirana, previously used as a parking lot, is now transformed into a small park with the active participation of the local community.

The beginning of the Albanian feminist movement in the early XX century was relatively late compared to other western developed countries. The name of the movie refers to the first society of women, called “Morning Star”, was founded in January 1909, by the Sevasti and Parashqevi Qiriazi. This short movie refers to the spatial narrations, messages in public spaces which often unconsciously and imperceptibly preserve patriarchal patterns. In Tirana, a city where there is relatively more freedom and openness to individuality, compared to the towns and villages of Albania, statues of male heroes dominate anyway. The only female statue that has been inaugurated in 2022, is the statue of Queen Geraldine, as wife of King Zogu. The role of women in history, their importance for the development of the country and it's culture must be redefined and make visible in the public space. The project refers to urban anthropology, but also to the relations of power shaped in the landscape. We admire (in ALbania) the beautiful views, the mountains, forgetting about the situation of women there, forgetting that in small towns, in and behind mountain villages in Albania, there are still many women whose rights to decide about themselves are not respected. And, in terms of land, typical and common here, they cannot inherit a family's land inheritance.
