Arba Bekteshi works as an urban anthropologist and walking artist in Tirana focusing on mediations of its changing urban landscape, negotiations on conceptualizations of public and private spaces, agency relations, as well as understandings of immanence in documentary. Bekteshi uses multimodal and sensory ethnography, psychogeographical walking, cartography and other forms of arts-based research to think with the various components of the ethnographic field. Bekteshi is a founding member of the Laboratory for Arts and Culture in Albania, focusing on projects falling between the artistic and anthropologic spectra.
Bekteshi has a double undergraduate degree in Southeastern European Studies and International Relations from the American University in Bulgaria, an M.A. in Anthropology of Development and Social Transformation from the University of Sussex, UK, a Masters in International Communication from IULM University, IT and an M.Sc. in Archaeology from the University of Tirana, AL.
