In addition to her creative works, the exhibition showcases her translations of works by authors such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, Yasushi Inoue, Junichiro Tanizaki, Anna G. Dostoevskaa, Christopher Andersen, and others. Helena Kadare’s significant role as an editor for a series of important monographs and publications also occupies a special place in the exhibition.
