ABOUT US

Harabel is a non-profit organization based in Tirana that focuses on the promotion of contemporary art and has established the biggest open archive of artists in Albania. Born out of the necessity to make contemporary art a commonwealth, free and accessible to all, Harabel was founded in 2018 in the former Blloku, an area situated in the heart of Tirana, inaccessible to citizens during communism, it is today the most vibrant and young of the capital. Harabel aims to become a catalyzer of urban interventions and indoor reflections, by offering an interdisciplinary space for experimentation and research and has a sustainable collaboration with contemporary artists, alongside researchers, curators, architects, sociologists, publishers, scientists and other professionals, with the intention to involve the city in its diverse social and educational aspects.

Harabel është një organizatë jofitimprurëse, me qendër në Tiranë që përqendrohet në promovimin e artit bashkëkohor dhe ka krijuar arkivin më të madh të hapur të artistëve në Shqipëri. Lindur nga nevoja për ta bërë artin bashkëkohor një pasuri të përbashkët, të lirë dhe të ndjekur nga shumëkush, Harabel është hapur në vitin 2018 në zonën e ish-Bllokut, pikërisht në zemër të Tiranës, zonë e cila ka qenë e padepërtueshme për qytetarët gjatë periudhës së komunizmit, kurse sot është vendi më rinor dhe me më shumë gjallëri në kryeqytet. Harabel synon të jetë një ndërmjetësues nxitës për ndërhyrje urbane dhe reflektime, duke ofruar një hapësirë ndërdisiplinore për eksperimentim dhe kërkim. Platforma synon bashkëpunimin e qëndrueshëm me artistë bashkëkohorë, si edhe me hulumtues, kuratorë, arkitektë, sociologë, publicistë, shkencëtarë dhe specialistë të fushave të tjera, me qëllim ndikimin në qytet, në drejtime të ndryshme sociale dhe edukative.
