Anila Rubiku

Anila Rubiku was born in Albania in 1970; today she lives and works in  between Milan and Tirana. Rubiku’s work includes drawings and installations; her signature works involve a new approach to the traditional craft of embroidery. She has developed a unique way of actively incorporating local people into community projects that combine tradition and art, local history and a contemporary perspective, creating a fascinating new hybrid.  In her  latest projects she deals with memory, time, architecture and gender.
