About Us

BUNK'ART 2 is the second phase of an historical-cultural project that is focused on the preservation of the collective memory and on telling the story of the communist regime, including the horrors of that regime. The project started in November 2014 with the opening to the public of BUNK'ART 1, a video museum exhibition situated inside the atomic bunker of the dictator Enver Hoxha, on the outskirts of Tirana and continues with the opening of BUNK'ART 2, on the 19^th of November 2016 in the capital center. While BUNK'ART 1 is dedicated to the history of the Albanian communist army and to the daily lives of Albanians during the regime, BUNK'ART 2 reconstructs the history of the Albanian Ministry of Internal Affairs from 1912 to 1991 and reveals the secrets of “Sigurimi”, the political police that was the harsh persecution weapon used by the regime of Enver Hoxha. BUNK'ART 2 is the first major video museum exhibition dedicated to the victims of communist terror. The originator and general curator of BUNK'ART project is the Italian journalist Carlo Bollino, while the staff of the historical research is led by the journalist Admirina Peçi. BUNK'ART project is supported by the Albanian NGO “Qendra Ura”.
