On February 17, 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. Yet far from ending Kosovo’s troubles, independence seems to have brought a new set of problems to the mountainous, landlocked region of less than 2 million people. The photographer @andrew_testa has been photographing #Kosovo for 2 decades now. He took this photo last month on a Saturday night at the Duplex nightclub in Pristina, the capital. Kosovo is booming artistically and culturally. The clubs, bars and live music venues in Pristina have few ethnic boundaries. Kosovo-born artists like Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Era Istrefi are regulars on the international music charts. Petrit Halilaj, a young artist, was awarded a special jury prize at the Venice Biennale last year. While a lot has changed for Kosovo and its people, @andrew_testa noticed something different on his recent visit: “The relentless optimism of Kosovars had yielded to disillusionment,” he writes. “The people seemed weighed down by resignation, as well as widespread disgust at perceived government corruption.” Visit the link in our profile to see more of his photos.
