One of the pioneers of the electronic music scene in Albania, Minimim is a promoter, provocateur, aesthetician, and an irreplaceable force in the country’s cultural life. He is the co-founder and resident DJ of Discobox and PepperOn, two well-known spaces, and is one-third of the All Shadows trio. With an active presence spanning over two decades, Minimim is a regular participant in significant local and international festivals.

Located in the heart of the village, Bar Tore embraces the many underground stories of bars as alternative spaces for community formation in Albania and Kosovo. Referencing iconic venues such as Bar Iliria in Tirana and Bar Janis in Prizren, the bar serves as both a site of artistic activation and a node of social memory.
