TULLA - Culture Center has been a pioneering cultural center in Albania for almost a decade, which has established a respected reputation locally and inter- nationally. Our institution connects art and culture with social activism as an efficient form of creating the highest possible social cohesion, ensuring that marginalized groups have access to art, culture and new technologies. TULLA is a unique platform in Tirana, as its model is defined from its cultural program, context and community. TULLA creates spaces, educates and builds collaborations between kids, students, artists, curators, activists and organiza- tions that have an active role in shaping the future. The aim of the non-formal education program is to specialize young people in the dynamic career path in art, music and technology, as well as for a sustain- able environment-friendly life.

The inauguration of COD (Center for Openness and Dialogue) in Tirana, on July 8, 2015, located in the first floor of the Prime Minister's building, marks a very important moment within the initiative of the Albanian Government to provide free access to public institutions and documents and to make them available to citizens and research institutions, inside and outside the country. COD offers a unique combination of three spaces: a digital hall that offers the public access to the digitized archive of the Prime Minister's Office, which contains thousands of documents, including the decisions of the Council of Ministers and internal correspondence of the institution; a library registered according to international standards, thanks to which COD visitors will have access to thousands of libraries around the world, specialized in the field of politics, the European Union, art, architecture and urban planning; as well as an exhibition hall, in which artistic exhibitions are often organized.

Bulevard Art and Media Institute opened in Tirana in 2021. It is located in the basement of Destil Creative Hub, in the former headquarters of Gazeta Bashkimi, a leading newspaper during the socialist regime. Conceived as an open editorial process, Bulevard’s program is composed of diaries, gossip and letters, with a focus on archival narratives. These manifest as publications, performative happenings, and annual gatherings with artists, archivists, editors, and curators. Bulevard centers education, social justice, intergenerational feminist and queer practices, and the continuous search for spaces in which communities can meet and express themselves freely. Bulevard was co-founded by Sonila Abdalli and Valentina Bonizzi, who share a vision of a shared space.
