Person Sokol Beqiri

* in Jugoslavija lebt und arbeitet in Srbija

Born in Peja, Kosovo in 1964, Sokol Beqiri graduated in graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prishtina, before completing his postgraduate studies at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. His works have been shown in several renowned exhibitions across Europe, including the Ljubljana and Zagreb biennials, and he has had solo shows in Germany, Slovenia and Kosovo. His exhibition at the ‘Intermedia’ studio in Prishtina in 1995 was a significant milestone in new Kosovan art. Beqiri is an influential figure and has initiated several important art projects. In 1999 he brought together several artists to perform a series of artistic interventions in the old market of his birth town Peja, which had been destroyed by Serb forces. During the war, Beqiri was deported to Ulqin, Montenegro but returned to Kosovo after the war had ended.
