Bar Laika celebrates one year in Clinton Hill on October 17! To celebrate we will screen Dammi i Colori by Anri Sala who inaugurated our screening program on our opening night in 2018. We will also have drink specials all night and a few special menu items.
Anri Sala, Dammi I Colori, 16:00, 2003, chronicles the work of Sala’s friend and former artist Edi Rama as Mayor of Tirana, Albania. Dammi i Colori evokes the city as canvas and champions art as a means for social transformation. Edi Rama became mayor of Tirana in 2000, and quickly went about re-painting the capital’s decaying buildings in brilliant, provocative colors and patterns. His aesthetic and political act was a powerful visualization of change—a source of both public debate and renewed civic pride.
