"The Time
Has come
That we be seen
Wrapped
In the shadow of Freedom...”

— Ledia Dushi, Change (1999)

​

'Wrapped in the Shadow of Freedom' is the first large-scale exhibition in Kosovo exploring queerness with its contemporary complexities, seeking to reorient priorities towards those in the shadows and margins of the non-normative. Thinking from the specific context of the newly independent state of Kosovo, the exhibition holds questions of freedom at its core — not only the freedom to look and love as we desire, but also the freedom to exist in multiplicity eschewing the confines of unilinear identities, and to be political agents enacting visions of radical intersectional queerness.
