Taking slip from a documentary about Elena Gjika, whose works have remained in the shadows, she began researching and studying for "Smart Albanian Woman", for the emancipation and promotion of cultural heritage. Thus, in 2013, she held in downtown Pristina an exposition of portraits of these women and their descriptions. 

Nita Zeqiri, born in 1987, lives and works in Kosovo. She has studied Business Administration and Economics in Pristina and currently works in the NGO sector for the empowerment of young people. In 2008, Nita co-funded “Tung Kosova”, a project which promotes Kosovo’s Cultural Heritage through vidoes & photography. She is also the coordinator of the European Culture Parliament Youth Network in Kosovo, aiming for cultural development and youth empowerment. Nita has been devoted to photography since 2003 and has completed some projects and photography exhibitions like “Momente Qetësie”, “Në Botën Teatër” & “n’Pah”. Her work has been acknowledged beyond the borders of Kosovo, in the prestigious “National Geographic” and other exhibitions like “Smart Cities & Hybrid Identities” in Venice, Italy.
