The international exhibition "Art Qurultay" has opened in Astana, bringing together artists from Kazakhstan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Germany, and Israel. The project features 11 artists representing various artistic schools, perspectives, and forms of contemporary art.

The exhibition is conceived as an open platform for cultural dialogue. Participants explore themes of memory, identity, heritage, tradition, and personal experience through painting, installation, performance, miniatures, and symbolic imagery.

The tone of the exhibition was set by a performance by German artist Christina Schleicher. Her work explores themes of origin, inner memory, and the legacy that a person carries with them, regardless of their place of residence or life path.

The Kazakhstani section of the project features works by Teoman Khosa, Asemgul Suleimenova, and Talgat Dosmanov. Teoman Khosa's installations are built on vivid metaphors and invite the viewer to independently search for meaning. Asemgul Suleimenova presented a series of new paintings in which traditional motifs, images of women, and elements of folk life are given a contemporary artistic resonance. In Talgat Dosmanov's paintings, the steppe, yurt, and sacred symbols are transformed into a philosophical reflection on the connection between the past and the present.

The Uzbek school of painting was represented by artists from Nukus, Temur Shardemetov, Bakhtyar Serekeyev, and Salamat Babajanov. Their works combine an expressive artistic language and a focus on Karakalpak cultural heritage.

Turkish artists Taner Alakush and Yasemin Akyol Alakush explore the possibilities of traditional miniature painting in a contemporary context. Israeli artist Vladimir Garbar presented works built on symbolism, expressive form, and the power of color.
