NEWBORN

Brightly-colored art installation located in the capital city of Pristina, Kosovo. 

It was unveiled on February 17, 2008, the same day that Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia. The installation consists of large letters spelling out the word “NEWBORN” in English, with each letter designed by a different artist.

NEWBORN quickly became a symbol of the country’s newfound independence, and has since become one of the most recognizable landmarks in Pristina. Each year on February 17th, the installation is repainted with a new design, symbolizing a fresh start and a new beginning.
