SOFRA SHQIPTARE

The installation 'Sofra Shqiptare' illustrates the various migration patterns of bakery workers originating from Kosovo. It symbolizes the interconnectedness and solidarity among these workers through a wall drawing depicting dots and lines connecting them, as well as an installation featuring intertwined sesame rings forming a chain.
