Project Space 17 from Prishtina, Kosovo hosted by WIRWIR & Project Space Festival 23

Metamorphosis aims to bring arts and culture into the dialogue in order to discuss the importance of utilizing public space. One of the last interventions of Metamorphosis is the first modern cinema Kino Rinia in Prishtina. A building of great cultural and social value, which was on the verge of privatization, likely to be repurposed into a market or parking lot. Actions in the frame of Metamorphosis project such as in-depth research on collective memory, a site-specific artistic intervention, public discussions, a documentary and a book on the capital’s cinema, Kino Rinia, resulted in the
ultimate rescuing of the cinema.
