On October 25, 2024, the legacy of Luan Mulliqi was officially honored through the launch of the Fondacioni Luan Mulliqi at his atelier in Matiqan. This landmark event gathered an extraordinary audience from the worlds of art, politics, and diplomacy.
Among the distinguished guests were Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti, several government ministers, and ambassadors from key partner countries, all of whom joined the Mulliqi family in celebrating the sculptor’s timeless impact on national and international culture.
Set against the striking backdrop of Mulliqi’s monumental works and illuminated studio, the evening marked not only a tribute to the past, but a bold step into the future. With powerful speeches, emotional moments, and a shared sense of purpose, the launch reaffirmed the Foundation’s mission to turn art into a lasting force for cultural connection and progress.
On November 2, 2024, Lumir Abdixhiku, leader of one of Kosovo’s most prominent political parties, visited the Luan Mulliqi Artistic Residence alongside his wife, Albina. Abdixhiku explored the atelier and monumental courtyard, reflecting on the enduring legacy of one of Kosovo’s greatest cultural figures.
In a heartfelt statement following the visit, Abdixhiku described the experience as deeply inspiring, standing before the powerful works of Luan Mulliqi and contemplating the impact of an artist who served as both a national symbol and a guide for future generations. He praised the Foundation’s role in preserving this legacy and ensuring that Mulliqi’s vision, values, and artistic passion live on.
He also emphasized the importance of giving art and culture a central role in Kosovo’s national identity and development, both through cultural recognition and infrastructure. The visit served as a meaningful affirmation of the Foundation’s mission, to be a lasting source of inspiration and pride for generations to come.
