Nisi Java Kulturore Zvicerane tek Piramida e Tiranës me organizim nga Ambasada Zvicerane dhe Fondi Kulturor Zviceran (SCF). Eventi hapës mblodhi bashkë aktorë të kulturës, artistë të mbështetur nga SCF, partnerë ndërkombëtarë dhe përfaqësues të medias.
Ambasadorja zvicerane Ruth Huber theksoi rëndësinë e kësaj nisme, duke thënë: “Kultura dhe artet kanë fuqinë për të nxitur ndryshimin. Zvicra njeh faktin që kultura kontribuon për zhvillimin, demokracinë dhe paqen. Ne jemi të privilegjuar që mbështesim skenën e pavarur kulturore të Shqipërisë përmes Fondit Kulturor Zviceran, duke ushqyer krijimtarinë e saj, duke përforcuar zërat e saj dhe përfundimisht, duke forcuar rolin e saj si një katalizator për ndryshim.”
Ndryshe nga javët tipike kulturore të organizuara nga ambasadat, ky event paraqet veprat e artistëve shqiptarë të mbështetur nga SCF. Është një partneritet me artistët, duke u fokusuar në tema si mësimet nga e kaluara, barazia gjinore dhe qëndrueshmëria mjedisore.
Java e Kulturës Zvicerane e këtij viti përmban një sërë ngjarjesh të pasura duke përfshirë:
• Shfaqje në muzikë, teatër dhe kërcim të cilat prekin dinamikat sociale dhe kulturore të Shqipërisë.
• Ekspozita që eksplorojnë ndikimin në mjedis të konsumerizmit, si dhe një rindërtim të Pazarit të Vjetër të Tiranës.
• Panele dhe diskutime që trajtojnë tema urgjente si vlera e ujit, përfaqësimi gjinor në industritë krijuese dhe trashëgimia e propagandës komuniste në Shqipëri.
Disa pika kryesore përfshijnë:
• 28 janar: ‘Muzikë për Njerëz të Thyer – një eksplorim simfonik i historisë komuniste të Shqipërisë.

Që nga fillimi në 2017 SCF ka luajtur një rol kyç në mbështetjen e artistëve të pavarur dhe praktikuesve të kulturës në të gjithë Shqipërinë. Aktualisht, SCF fokusohet në shfrytëzimin e arteve dhe kulturës për të ndezur një dialog kuptimplotë mbi çështjet e zhvillimit, duke shfaqur aftësinë unike të artit për të frymëzuar reflektimin dhe lidhjen.

social issues through art and conversation
The Swiss Cultural Week 2025 kicked off today, offering a nine-day programme
showcasing the artistic creativity of Albania’s independent cultural community and
fostering dialogue on social issues

arts have the power to drive change. Switzerland recognizes that culture contributes to development,

Tirana’s Old Bazaar.

• 1 February: premiere of ‘Between Us’ – a drama exploring mother-daughter relationships.
• 7 February: ‘Polluted Horizons’ – a digital art exhibition addressing environmental

Since its launch in 2017, the SCF has played a pivotal role in supporting independent artists and
cultural practitioners across Albania. Currently the SCF focuses on leveraging arts and culture to
spark meaningful dialogue on development issues, showcasing art’s unique ability to inspire
reflection and connection. It is a project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation
