Diaries explores the history of the Lindart Association – the first and only Women’s Artist Association in Albania after the end of the Communist Regime in 1991. Conceived in 1993 and founded in 1994 by 14 women artists working within the art scene at the time, Lindart responded to the need for creating new learning opportunities in a context in which old patriarchal traditions continued to shape the development of culture and visual art. The collective opened the Lindart Cultural Center in 2000, and between 2001 and 2010 they developed a program that produced exhibitions, workshops and events. Despite the historical and international significance of Lindart’s program, their work and their struggle as artists and as women is barely known. The Calendars are an ongoing element of the Diaries, a timeline holding local and international happenings that slowly materializes while in conversation with colleagues, the local community and the wider public.
