Day 3: The International Academy on Literary Management and Translation Promotion

🏰 The Translations Collider Academy meets Shkodra 🏰


The program of the third Academy Day took place in Shkodra, Albania's capital of culture and hometown to many notable writers, philosophers, translators, and artists. 


The participants were introduced to local cultural organizations, their managing teams, core activities, and business models. 


We visited and exchanged with representatives from:


  • Shkodra Art House, a cultural foundation, created by the visual artist Adrian Paci who promotes art and young artists in Shkodra

  • Arka Youth Center is a youth and cultural center that develops programs for young people in support of building their skills in different fields with a wide range of activities

  • The National Photography Museum 'Marubi', whose collection includes the first-ever photograph taken in Albania by Pjetër Marubi in 1858

  • The Venetian Mask Factory, a unique cultural business of international reputation
