Albanian literature will take centre stage in Pimlico when Fishta Institute hosts Fishta Light, an evening of music, poetry and shared cultural heritage.
The announced programme honours Gjergj Fishta through musical performances, recitations and short theatrical sketches. A reception with traditional Albanian refreshments will offer time for conversation and community connections.
Keeping literary heritage in conversation
Fishta Institute’s wider mission includes the study and preservation of Albanian language and literary traditions. Its work highlights Fishta’s writing, including Lahuta e Malcís, within Albania’s cultural and historical life.
For families and younger members of the diaspora, an evening combining spoken words and performance can offer an inviting way into a literary tradition that deserves to be heard as well as read.
