In the first episode, Endi and I talk about many aspects of the language, especially in relation to Eastern European feminism and its relationship to Western academia, or rather, its absence; and about negative stereotypes when it comes to Albanian territory, language, and history.

Endi Tupja is an artist, filmmaker/storyteller and cultural practitioner based between Berlin and Tirana. Her research is centered in experimenting with strategies of memory recuperation and the potential of re-enactment with time witnesses. She explores the limits of (self) representation as well as its tangential relation to video art. There is a friction between the essential and a sense of exaggeration omnipresent in her search for clarity. She continuously tries to challenge a certain idea of established institutional formality in artistic research and academic language.
