A joint exhibition of Zake Prelvukaj, Ismet Jonuzi, and Rudina Xhaferi is the fruit of cooperation and cultural exchange among Swedish and Kosovar artists.

In the context of deepening cultural co-operation between Swedish and Kosovar artists, an exhibition of academic painters has opened in Växjö, Sweden introducing three ambitious and talented artists; Zake Prelvukaj, Ismet Jonuzi, and Rudina Xhaferi. The opening of this exhibition was on Wednesday, Sep. 2 at the Media Artes Italian Palace Cultural Center in Växjö University, in the presence of Swedish and Albanian cultural lovers alike. The opening of the exhibition, which can still be visited til September 25th, was presented by the University Professor Harald Nikcklasson.

Rose Marie Back, who is responsible for cultural exchanges within the Media Artes Italian Palace, has felt herself to be very happy that the exhibition was fulfilled as planned by the Kosovar creators. "Last year", Back said, Kosovar painter Shyqri Gjurkaj presented the exhibition, where 13 artists from Växjö to had the honor to visit Kosovo and display our works in the Gallery Arts of Kosovo".

"During our stay in Kosovo, my colleagues and I have experienced the wounds and pains in Kosovo that still lingered and felt by the people there after the war. The three talented painters; Zake Prelvukaj, Ismet Jonuzi, and Rudina Xhaferi, in fact are to visit Kosovo and deepen the mutual co-operation between Sweden and Kosovo".

Part of the exposed creations that these painters reflect are the difficult experiences Kosovars faced during the war; done in a masterful way and have no direct political colors. Together, with colleague Shyqri Gjurkaj, Rose Marie Back hopes that these cultural exchanges would continue in the future.
