Fog Sculpture, Burim Berisha Oct 2023

Fog Sculpture, Burim Berisha

UBT International Conference

The use of a specific site for research is one of the forms that help the development of sculpture in contemporary times. In this context, my work is focused on presenting a "mirror" of the damage we do to nature, and therefore to ourselves through pollution and the need we have for industry, the compromise we have to make. By applying the specific site as a starting point for the conception of a sculptural form we achieve a better communication, including in this case the history of the location. The work focuses on the research and use of different materials …


Stimulating Decision-Making Through Design And Advertising, Dardan Luta Oct 2023

Stimulating Decision-Making Through Design And Advertising, Dardan Luta

UBT International Conference

The improvement of technology has made it possible for the masses to have easy access to graphic software, therefore even the products/advertisements of a category become very similar to each other and the design becomes a decisive element that makes this difference. To differentiate between products, each brand tries to create its own visual language and aims to give a message to the consumer about its identity.

Since advertising is such an important aspect of a brand, can consumer perceptions be stimulated or manipulated through graphic design? We will focus in the advertisements that companies in Kosovo have used for …

A Review Of Application, Challenges And Perspective Of The Profession Of Design In Kosovo, Egzon Bajraktari, Ajhan Bajmaku, Aferdita Statovci

UBT International Conference

Design as a professional branch among applied arts, in essence derives from architecture and other classic arts, e.g. painting. It comes as a result of society needs stemming from industrial and technological developments. As such, design has a wide range of scope and application. The scope and application of the design has stretched further in the recent years with the expansion of the digital world and application of digital media by the society nowadays. Kosova has been partially behind these developments – more precisely, quite behind in terms of industrial development, but on the other hand, not so much behind …


Colour Coordination As A Powerful Design Tool, Arana Gjoni Oct 2021

Colour Coordination As A Powerful Design Tool, Arana Gjoni

UBT International Conference

A color is one of the first elements to communicate the message behind the design. The color can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. It can be used to attract attention, to organize the content, to emphasize the elements, to evoke emotions and to help a design look aesthetically pleasing. The selection of the color palette in the design is of high importance and should not be neglected for the only reason that color remains a powerful tool for creating customer-centric products. Color experiments are crucial in design because a poor selection of color palettes may lose the identity …

An Investigation On The Acoustics Of The Existing Halls Used For Music Performance In Kosovo, Egzon Bajraktari, Liburn Jupolii, Tomor Kuci

UBT International Conference

Music performance of course needs special attention and special requirements. On the one hand musicians spend long time rehearsing for the performance and need the right conditions in order to have efficient rehearsal. On the other hand listeners of the music performance have their expectations as well, and require good conditions in order to enjoy the music performance properly. One aspect of these special conditions for a music performance is of course room acoustics. Since good room acoustics for music performance is not something easily achieved, usually there are specially designed halls for music performance in order to provide the …

The immigration period affected many lives and many people from all walks of life, the most vulnerable were women; “Hyjnesha” an archaeological artifact that dates centuries back, the icon and representation of the city of Prishtina (the capital) is the image of a woman. Living in Kosovo has its challenges, especially when you are a woman. Being born in Kosovo as a girl means having had a set of expecta- tions before you even learn how to walk. However, despite the obstacles Kosovar girls and women face on a daily basis, giving the opportunity Albanian women excel, whatever the circumstances …

UBT International Conference

After the liberation of Yugoslavia from Nazi occupation in the fall of 1944, Marshal Tito called for a levée en masse to break the Wehrmacht line on

the Syrmian front and conquer the Italian city of Trieste. As thousands of men were forcibly recruited from across the country, Albanians from

Kosovo were sent to the front in a tragic march that left behind scores of sick and wounded to die. On March 30, 1945, when the unarmed Albanian recruits arrived in the town of Tivari [Bar] on the Adriatic coast,

Montenegrin partisans killed hundreds of them.

'Fashion Settled/ Unsettled, Aferdita Statovci Oct 2021

'Fashion Settled/ Unsettled, Aferdita Statovci

UBT International Conference

Fashion is about change and about challenging the status quo which at present is uncertain. Citizens and fashion professionals are questioning the frivolous approach to fashion and exploring ways in which fashion can contribute to driving change- not only ecologically but socially and politically.

Historically, political and leading figures in society have long understood the power of fashion and they used it to convey status, values, and affiliations, just as the people have used it to protest or approve certain matters, both socially and politically.

Fashion as a sincere expression of our external identity regardless of climatic conditions / season, …


Muscle Memory, Jakup Ferri Oct 2021

Muscle Memory, Jakup Ferri

UBT International Conference

While I was studying (1999-2004), my city Prishtina was invisible and isolated from the western (art) world. This became an influence for my work, its content and its appearance. The awareness of the political situation; the invisibility of my country within the artworld and the alienation from western art from which art students like myself suffered, resulted in a series of video's where I dealt with this problematical case. It resulted in videos created with a certain spontaneity and desire to experiment. I reflect on them more as 'test' videos. I used myself as the main protagonist in these videos …


Ushtari I Panjohur (Unknown Soldier), Burim Berisha Oct 2021

Ushtari I Panjohur (Unknown Soldier), Burim Berisha

UBT International Conference

The Unknown Soldier is the name of the monuments we have often heard, but in a different context from the one we will realize, this work of art is dedicated to women who fight for their rights on a daily basis, and is dedicated to them women who are no longer among us and there is no monument to the appreciation of their deeds in society.

"Unknown Soldier", the name is masculine, but the work is a portrait of a woman in large dimensions 3m high and changes the fact, to show greatness and gratitude to them by ironically with …

In Front Of Camera, Anisa Rada Oct 2021

In Front Of Camera, Anisa Rada

UBT International Conference

Photography, usually presents a real situation and is the most effective form of presenting reality. Understanding the image is understanding the realm in which the psyche of the photographer, the person in front of camera, and the viewer intersect. But, including the way our minds and social environment shape the way we think, feel, behave, and present ourselves, has photography actually become a means of creating unrealistic states and moments? In front of the camera do we feel stagnant in a mechanical tool and the moment we are aware that we are being photographed, is everything changing in the way …

'The Reflection Of Fashion Represents The Strength And Courage Of The Female Figure', Ardita Rizvanolli

UBT International Conference

Fashion professionals are constantly highlighting the female figure, very often with a frivolous approach, exploring the use of trendy materials. Historically, the female figure has reflected in the power that expresses emotion, and the same time with the beaty combined boldly. Styling as an identity despite the historical stages, the female figure was able to kneel by covering or revealing the emphasis of her body lines, which connect deeply with the rib lines remain the most beautiful part of her figure. Her “Goddess at the Front” identity remains eternally emblematic for all time, providing us with inspiration not to stray …

Costume is one of the most important means of visual communication in terms of characters on stage.

Accessories include pieces such as: bags, hats, jewelry, socks, shoes, and more. On stage, during a theatrical performance, emotions are expressed through costume and scenography. In order to achieve this successfully, and for maximum effect, the costume designer must be in close contact with the director and the actors during all the stages of the design process and also …

Qëndrueshmëria është e rëndësishme për shumë arsye duke përfshirë edhe cilësinë e mjedisit ku jetojmë. Në mënyrë që të kemi komunitet të shëndetshëm, ne kemi nevojë për ajër të pastër, burime natyrore dhe një mjedis jotoksik.
