Flaka Haliti

Flaka Haliti interdisciplinary practice spans mixed media, sculpture, and spatial installation. Situated between abstraction and representation, and informed by artistic research, critical theory, and material experimentation, her work addresses belonging, subjectivity, human-animal relations, displacement, migration, transnationality, and territoriality, with a long time focus on the demilitarization of aesthetics. It examines the entanglement of aesthetic regimes and military logics in shaping contemporary socio-political imaginaries.

Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at major international biennials and institutions, including the Venice Biennale, Busan Biennale, Manifesta 14, the Moscow Biennale, steirischer herbst '22, and the Baltic Triennial 14, as well as museums such as mumok, Lenbachhaus, Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum Ludwig, Lehmbruck Museum, and the National Gallery of Tirana, among others. She was shortlisted for the Preis der Nationalgalerie (2019) and is a recipient of the Ars Viva Prize (2015/16), the Ludwig Gies Prize (2019), the Henkel Art Award (2014), awards associated with the Fellbach Triennial and mumok, among others.
