Dutch cultural week in the city of Korça/Van Gogh exhibition, visited by

Within the framework of the Dutch cultural week in the city of Korça, a very important activity has been developed where the genders of visual and musical arts are combined, which are also realized with digital arts. Korça, as among the cities, that loves culture and art certainly cannot make a difference in embracing the culture of other countries.

According to the Dutch ambassador to Albania, Reinout Vos, he feels happy to be in Korça starting the Dutch cultural week.

According to him, Paris was the city that made known the work of the famous artist Van Gogh, paralleling it with Korça, the little Paris.

Among other things, according to Vos, other cities of Albania will be visited, which are equally important.

Vos says that Korça is different from Tirana as this city is more advanced, thanking the artists who created this exhibition.

"It's a pleasure to be in Korça today to start the Dutch cultural week. We celebrate the work of the famous artist Van Gogh, who became famous in Paris, and we want to draw a parallel with the little Paris that is Korça and Paris that made this artist so famous in the two years he lived there.

Through our cultural week, we want to show that we are not only positioned in Tirana, but also visit other cities that are treasures of Albania.

From Korça we will continue to Tirana and from Tirana to Shkodër. We have received many comments from people asking us why this experience is not possible in Tirana.

This is the moment to emphasize that Korça is very advanced in this regard and we are very grateful to the artists who have built this exhibition. Its added value is the collaboration of two DJs".

For the director of GAD, Arbri Malile, the organization in the form of a party is a novelty for the city, while he emphasizes that the Van Gogh exhibition has been visited from all over Albania and beyond.

"Today is the week of Dutch culture within the framework of the opening of international cultural weeks. The first collaboration was the immersive Van Gogh exhibition brought to Albania for the first time at GAD, which consisted of bringing his works from Amsterdam to Albania and in addition this exhibition has been visited by all the regions of Albania and further Skopje, Kosovo and neighboring countries. digital. It's the innovation of its kind."

The mayor of Korça, Sotiraq Filo, also gave his impressions of this activity, who says that technology has made it possible to mix it with art and traditional culture.

"It is a special activity. Korça is known as the city of art and culture in Albania, but it is also known as a city that accepts culture and art from other countries. It is a special activity because silent and disco are two words that in the traditional sense they are not next to each other, but technology makes it possible to realize such an activity. I am glad that we have a mix of traditional art and culture with technology."

This activity has brought a different look to art and more specifically to Korça, giving special emotions to Korça art lovers and to those who love any form of art, including music. Since its creation, the Digital Arts Gallery has been bringing numerous activities and exhibitions, innovations not only for Korça, but also for Albania./ CNA
