28 November purveys texts (new, used, bootlegged) that relate to independence, anarchy, spaces of exception, desire, withdrawal, noncompliance, self-management, forms of identification, love.
An Independent Book Fair is a program of bulevard's Lule Shqiponja, with very special publishers from Albania, Kosovo, and beyond.
Come buy books, support independent publishing, get cool shit, hang out, make stuff, read.
Bulevard Art and Media Institute opened in Tirana in 2021. It is located in the basement of Destil Creative Hub, in the former headquarters of Gazeta Bashkimi, a leading newspaper during the socialist regime.
Conceived as an open editorial process, Bulevard’s program is composed of diaries, gossip and letters, with a focus on archival narratives. These manifest as publications, performative happenings, and annual gatherings with artists, archivists, editors, and curators. Bulevard centers education, social justice, intergenerational feminist and queer practices, and the continuous search for spaces in which communities can meet and express themselves freely.
All and anyone is welcome 🖤
