Haveit Performance: When Father Wept, Mother Washed My Eyes

Haveit Collective

Haveit Collective met as students at Art Academy, and through their daily conversations and shared preoccupations quickly established themselves as an artistic group.

Their story is that of four girls who chose to create their own platform, not wanting to wait for galleries to open their doors for them, or for NGOs to finance their work. Choosing the name “Haveit”, and selecting public spaces to perform, they have created an artistic movement in Kosovo.

Throughout their performative practice, they have learned more about their society. Indeed, the drive behind their art works has come from a need to express their thoughts, feelings, to share their truth.

The collective was established in 2011 and they’re known for artistic public performances, which, in most cases, are protests against gender stereotypes, discrimination of women and LGBT+.
