Opening Reception | Elidor Mehilli: An infinite archive: Albania's Transformation


Since the early 2000s, Elidor Mehilli has assembled a vast archive on the dramatic transformation of his hometown, Tirana, Albania. This body of work encompasses photographic series, thousands of documents, ephemera, and found objects. While research often takes him inside formal party, state, and security police archives, this broader visual practice reimagines the idea of the archive itself. Mëhilli’s work captures Tirana’s bewildering transition from communist-era central planning to neoliberalism. The collapse of the party-state in the early 1990s triggered a mass migration to the periphery of the city, which was ill-equipped to handle it. Ordinary residents transformed into amateur architects, converting ground floors into shops and adding illegal floors to prefabricated blocks. Various governments have tried to dominate the city, but Tirana tends to defy them, pursuing an unruled life. As tourism surges today, star architects flock to the capital to design gleaming high-rises. The construction craze and the steep rise in real estate prices puts immense pressure on historical landmarks located on valuable land. In this heady rush to attract money and attention—to reinvent a city and a country so that it becomes legible to the West—what to do with versions of the past deemed unmarketable? In a process that began with earlier shows at galleries at Cornell University (2005) and Princeton University (2007), Mëhilli explores this ongoing tug-of-war. He tracks the transformation of familiar places of his teenage years, like the raw graffitied façade of a housing block that served as a backdrop to a playground and a mysterious kiosk stuffed with old books that has somehow survived the decades of turmoil. He assembles textual and visual biographies of erased architecture, documents the denials to his requests for access to classified archival files, collects “obsolete history” discarded along city streets, and writes editorials for local papers, putting together a counter-archive to a country struggling with its past and desperate to plug itself into global circuits of capital.

Lecture | Belonging with Songs: Towards an Historical Anthropology of Medieval French Chansons


Why do we sing? How does singing shape how we see ourselves and how we relate to one another? Emma Dillon takes up these universal questions in the context of a medieval song community. Her talk explores Medieval French songs (trouvère songs) as a social practice, linked to specific people and families from Northern France and to other forms of social activity. She offers a case study of twelfth-century trouvères (using new recordings of their songs), and shows how songs, charters and seals foster a sense of belonging to a community. Her talk also introduces the UKRI-funded project, Musical Lives, which takes further the possibility of song-centred histories through interdisciplinary collaboration with scholars and performers.

Talk | Photographer Talk: Picturing Fashion


A talk with fashion photographer Diane Allford. Born in Philadelphia, Allford grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. She initially took photography classes to help with her work as a broadcast and print journalist. Soon after, she fell in love with photography. Allford’s style centers narrative. Her fashion photography is part of her journey starting out as an urban street-style photographer. Today, she is a professional fashion and advertising photographer. Allford shoots editorial and commercial imagery for marketing, eCommerce, and advertising. Through collaboration with fashion designers, wardrobe stylists, and hair and makeup artist professionals, she creates fashion images based on the aesthetics of the clothes, the locations, and the magic that happens when everyone comes together on set. There is a different approach in post-production where she creates surreal fashion-forward fine art digital collages that incorporate the fashion photos with additional visual elements that sometimes include social commentary.
