Pristina

People in Kosovo love Madeleine Albright, who, 20 years ago, helped engineer the NATO air war that ousted Serbian forces. The statue of Albright is in the city center joining one of Clinton erected earlier on a boulevard named after him. More pictures to follow of Clinton later.

The Heroinat Memorial (HEROINAT) is a typographic sculpture and tourist attraction in Pristina, Kosovo. The monument focused on creating a representative face of Kosovar women. The project was conducted mostly with photographic research. It combined different portraits, isolated their most common features, remixed them, and created the representative portrait.

HEROINAT depicts an Albanian woman using 20,000 pins. Each pin represents a woman raped during the Kosovo War from 1998-1999. The pins are at different heights, creating a portrait in relief.
