At a time when technology and markets are changing at a rapid pace, we believe that culture and innovation are not opposites, but allies. We have a golden opportunity to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, to empower the economy through culture, to turn young people towards crafts as a path to self-employment and identity.
With this message, the Minister of Economy, Culture and Innovation has arrived at Zan'Art, one of the most colorful fairs and festivals in the country, writes A2. It is the first edition, the first meeting, the gathering of 35 of the most prominent artisans in the country, to exhibit their works. From the qelesh that we find in the matches of the Albanian National Team to the xhubleta that is now listed among the treasures of the world, in UNESCO, 35 exhibitors, but along with them also performers with çifteli, lute or violin, with models dressed in the colors inherited from generation to generation, as well as with the mystery of Venetian masks that have now become art and craft even among Albanians, this is how the festival has arrived in the capital.
And yet, Zan'Art will not only be a fair, but also a good opportunity to explore the fantastic world of history, because there we also find researchers who connect every thread with the elements of culture that have been passed down to us through generations.
To encourage creativity and appreciation of crafts, funds will be increased, as will promotion in international arenas, promised Minister Gonxha, who added to his artistic portfolio international culture weeks and the possibility of a series of events that will take Albanian art and culture to the world.
Also, Zan'Art is a good opportunity for those who want to become part of this beautiful and colorful world, because Zan'Art in this first edition will feature 11 workshops that will be held by craft masters, who will present traditional craft techniques. (A2 Televizion)
