Arbër Qerka-Gashi (b. 1997, London) is a writer, curator, visual artist and community organiser of Kosovar heritage. He holds a BA in History from Goldsmiths, University of London, and an MA in Gender, Sexuality and Culture from Birkbeck, University of London.
Arbër is the founder of the grassroots archival, educational, visual arts platform and print publication, Balkanism. He is also the co-founder of the progressive events initiative, the Balkan London Collective.
Arbër engages with a wide range of themes through his writing, curatorial work, and artistic practice. By drawing on visual arts, repurposing archives, and cultural and historical research, he uses artistic collections, material culture, and found objects to provoke critical reflection on social justice, ethno-nationalism, displacement, diaspora, and intergenerational trauma.
Arbër most recently co-curated the Inside/Outside and All In Between (2024-2025) exhibition at the Migration Museum, which explored the dynamics of migration and displacement.
Arbër was most recently engaged in a residency at Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Arts as a part of the Community Curators collective.
