Muralfest

About us

Launched as an artistic project in 2016 and developed into a non-governmental organization, MuralFest Kosova promotes the artistic culture in the country and using arts as a form of speech in social justice advocacy. Founded by Lebibe Topalli, Pranvera Sylejmani and Antigona Heta, three Albanian female artists, the specific objective of MuralFest Kosova since its genesis has been to support and empower women, respectively female artists in the country. As the organization’s programs and team evolved, we met the opportunity to create a supportive space for all individuals who stagnate in their journey towards social and professional development.
