Published! Kazakhstan’s Pavilion at the Venice Biennale for The Times of Central Asia
The Kazakh pavilion “Jerūiyq: Journey Beyond the Horizon” at the 60th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, from April 20 to November 24, represents a major milestone in changing perceptions of Kazakh art.
Staged in the Naval Historical Museum, the exhibition reinterprets the ancient legend of Jerūiyq, drawing inspiration from Kazakh myths and the visionary journey of the 15th-century philosopher Asan Kaigy.
I have interviewed the Pavillion’s curator Anvar Musrepov for The Times of Central Asia.
