The first day of Circle Fest was not about borders. It was about presence. In the heart of Prishtina, at Termokiss, a different kind of map was drawn.

Young artists from across the Balkans—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Kosova—gathered, and the space dissolved into something new: a shared moment.

This is the vital work of this festival. In a world that insists on fragments, it offers a whole. It is a room where the solitary act of creation meets the collective need for connection.

It is the architecture of a future built not on the walls that divide us, but on the art that reminds us of our shared breath, our common pulse. The circle is now open. And it is growing.

Circle Fest is organized by Artpolis, suported by UNFPA in Kosovo
