Gjirokastër - The prettiest town in Albania 🌺 Have you ever been to a place that was truly a sight to see, but for the life of you, you couldn’t pronounce its name? 😂 That was me with: 📍 Gjirokastër Known has the “Stone City,” it consists of homes and other structures distinctive of the Ottoman-era. Pair that with one of the most vibrant and lovelies open air bazaars, and you will be in for a delight. The Old Bazaar, which is known in Albanian as: Qafa e Pazarit ("the neck/pass of the bazaar"), is the historic commercial heart of the old town of Gjirokastër. This is one of the best places to wake up early, and watch the town slowly come alive. You’ll see: 🍎 Produce vendors setup shop 🫂 Locals greet each other & you 🪭 Shop trinkets on full display 🍽️ Cafes getting cleaned 👨🏻‍🏭 Ironworkers hard at work in tiny side streets Albanian flags flowing in the wind There is an ease of from the morning ☀️ into the rest of the day that is so comforting to experience. When visiting Albania, you cannot miss Gjirokastër. #Gjirokastër #visitgjirokaster #gjirokaster #qafaepazarit #oldbazaar

Living Memory 🎨 - Upcycled Art ♻️ meets Technology 🤖 Fashion Week might have just ended and Climate Week is ramping up, but that doesn’t mean, Art takes a backseat! I recently attended opening night for a short art exhibition called: Living Memory @livingmemory.io 📆 Date: Sept 18 - Sept 20, 2026 📍 Location: 260 West 36th Street, NYC A project that stirs conversations on how upcycled works can become traceable cultural artifacts, the curators of this NYC installation did a phenomenal job featuring some heavyweight artists whose artistry spans across industries: 👗 Fashion 🖼️ Fine art 🪑 Furniture 💍 Jewelry A passion project of true impact, the exhibition intentionally focuses on the appreciation of sustainability, material transformation, provenance, and future applications of the art works. One of the most interesting aspects of this exhibition was that each piece was affixed with a digital code that essentially shows you its lifecycle and living history. Though, it only lasted a few days, the Living Memory exhibition was a great example of cultural and conscious strides being made in the art world.
