6 galleries
We are thrilled to present the captivating "Etnofoto" Project Gallery Collection, an exhibition that vividly brings to life the rich tapestry of Kosovo's diverse ethnic communities and their cherished traditional costumes. Sponsored by the Kosovan Ministry for Culture, Youth, and Sports, "Etnofoto" offers a visual journey that transcends photography, capturing the very essence of cultural heritage.
This series of photographs showcases the intricate details of traditional attire worn by various ethnic groups in Kosovo, including the Albanian, Serbian, Roma, and Gorani communities. We aimed to also include the Turkish, Bosnian, and Ashkali communities, but unfortunately, scheduling conflicts prevented us from arranging those photo sessions within the project timeline as we faced multiple rejections. This collection not only celebrates the beauty of these costumes but also delves into their spiritual significance, fostering connections across Kosovo's communities through shared traditions.
We submitted our financial reports to the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports in December 2023. However, due to delayed disbursement of funds from the Ministry, our post-production process could not be completed until June 2024. The project manager has received the login credentials and has until December 2024 to download the digital formats of the photographs.
