UZBEKISTAN

Aziza Kadyri’s installation recreates the atmosphere of a backstage, inspired by the Houses of Culture located throughout Eurasia at the beginning of the 20th century. The theatrical setting comes to life through sculptures created from sketches of traditional costumes, integrated with audiovisual materials produced by the Qizlar Collective group of women artists. The project focuses on women’s collective practices and the complex relationships between the physical body and the surrounding world. Kadyri’s artistic investigation extends to topics such as migration, decolonization, language, social invisibility, and the relationship between tradition and technology.
