Abstract

"The Then and There" is a dialogue between artist Flaka Haliti and architect Markus Miessen, published in MaHKUscript. Journal of Fine Art Research in 2016. The conversation delves into Haliti's artistic practice, exploring themes of political engagement, personal identity, and the influence of her Kosovar background on her work. Haliti emphasizes her approach of responding to provocations rather than initiating them, aiming to intervene in historical conditions that shape her life. The dialogue also touches upon the male-dominated art scene in Kosovo, the longing for Western recognition, and Haliti's representation of Kosovo at the Venice Biennale. Throughout, Haliti reflects on the balance between personal narrative and broader political contexts in her art, striving to challenge prevailing aesthetics and open up comprehensive readings of her narratives.
