HAVEIT is an art collective comprised of two pairs of sisters - Alketa & Arbërore Sylaj and Hana & Vesa Qena - founded in 2011 in Prishtina (Kosovo) as a form of protest in the aftermath of a local crime in which a 27-year old student Diana Kastrati was shot dead in the street by her ex-husband. Ever since, empowering women's social status in Kosovo has been the central tenet of their artistic and activist practice, which combines public performance, photography and video to explore social issues relevant to their living and working environment.

At HAPU, HAVEIT will contruct a space in which meals, family, and love will redefine our definition of slavery.
