Annual General Meeting on 9 March at “Karl der Grosse” Zurich

We are pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting on 9 March. In 2024 we celebrate the 25th anniversary of ARSIMI and we have prepared a special programme for you. The multi-award winning documentary “Whose Is This Song? (2003) by Bulgarian filmmaker Adela Peeva shows the different cultural contexts, but also the commonalities of the various Balkan peoples. A well-known folk song with different lyrics in different languages sparks discussions about who can claim “copyright”. The film (with English subtitles) will be followed by a discussion with moderators Dr. Christian Zindel, former head of Pro Helvetia’s Tirana office, and cultural studies expert Dr. Mirëlinda Shala, lecturer at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. 
The event is open to the public. 

You are very welcome! 

Christian Zindel and Lorena Rodriguez Xhagjika
