The Pavilion of the Republic of Kosovo at the 19th International Venice Architecture Biennale presents Lulebora nuk çel më. Emerging Assemblages, a sensorial exploration of rupture and reconfiguration in Kosovo’s shifting landscapes: the uprooting of ecological relationships and embodied knowledge systems under climate pressure, and the new forms of sense-making that emerge in liminal spaces of uncertainty.
Grounded in fieldwork with farmers across Kosovo, the project traces a landscape in transition, where longstanding crops like wheat and beans struggle, while new ones such as kiwi and figs take root. This agricultural shift reflects a deeper epistemic rupture: the faltering of sensory cues and seasonal markers that farmers have relied on for decades—exposing the fragility of situated forms of knowledge, while creating space for their recalibration.
