Early life

Born in Kosovo, Halilah left the country with his family during the Yugoslav wars of 1991–2001.[7] Settled in Italy, Hililaj studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.[8]

Halilaj represented the Republic of Kosovo at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013.[9][10]

In 2017 Halilaj had a solo exhibition at the New Museum in New York.[11] In 2018 he had a solo show at the Hammer Museum.[12]

Halilaj created a large site-specific installation of giant sculptural flowers in 2020 for Madrid's Palacio de Cristal.[13] In 2020 Halilaj dropped out of the Belgrade Biennale, claiming that the Serbian Biennale would not recognize his Kosovo nationality.[14][15]
