Urban art has significantly integrated itself into the landscape of Pristina, evolving from what began as a painted wall in 2017. This growing prominence is marked by the “Meeting of Styles Kosovo” festival, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. For the tenth edition, scheduled from August 28th to 30th, festival organizer Agon Xhelili provided insights to Telegrafi regarding the event’s journey, its influence on public spaces, and its projected plans for the coming decade.
Xhelili detailed the background of the organizing entity, Q’ ARTË. The organization commenced its activities in 2014 with the stated mission of enhancing Pristina’s image through the mediums of art and urban culture. The festival itself serves as a key platform for artistic expression.
According to Xhelili, the Meeting of Styles continues to play a vital role in shaping the city’s cultural narrative. The longevity and scope of the event reflect a sustained commitment to public art initiatives. The discussion highlighted how the festival has not only documented the evolution of street art but has also positioned itself as a crucial cultural anchor.
The organizers emphasized that their vision extends beyond the current celebration, aiming to solidify art’s permanent place within the urban fabric of Pristina while continuing to foster artistic dialogue across various creative styles.
