    Kazakhstan's cultural heritage takes stage in fashion show at National Museum of Asian Art

    The National Museum of Asian Art in Washington on July 14 became the venue for a captivating fashion show that showcased the rich cultural heritage of Kazakhstan. As part of the Soul of Tengri program at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the event aimed to highlight Kazakh craft traditions and provide a platform for local artisans to display their talents.

    Organized by the Smithsonian Artisan Initiative, the Kazakh Union of Artisans, and Chevron, the fashion show featured the collections of three talented artisans: Aizhan Bekkulova, Aizhan Sembigaliyeva, and Tilek Sultan. Each collection demonstrated the unique textile and jewelry-making traditions of Kazakhstan, offering attendees a glimpse into the country's diverse and vibrant culture.

    One of the highlights of the show was Aizhan Bekkulova's collection, which showcased handmade Turkic clothing. Her creations included wool headdresses in the shape of sun-headed deities, inspired by ancient petroglyphs discovered in southeastern Kazakhstan. The intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance of her designs captured the attention of the audience.

    Aizhan Sembigaliyeva drew inspiration from the natural beauty and national reserves of the Mangystau Region. Her collection paid homage to the region's textile traditions, incorporating elements that reflected the unique landscapes and traditions of the area. The combination of nature-inspired motifs and traditional craftsmanship resulted in stunning and distinctive pieces.

    Tilek Sultan's collection centered around the traditional clothing worn by Kazakh tribes. His creations featured a wide range of costumes, jewelry, and color palettes, all meticulously crafted to represent the ancestral attire of the country. Sultan's collection not only celebrated the cultural heritage of Kazakhstan but also showcased the diverse styles and influences within the nation's traditional fashion.

    Clifford Murphy, the Director of the Smithsonian's Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, emphasized the institution's commitment to supporting artisans in preserving ancient traditions through modern expressions. He expressed delight in providing a platform for Kazakh artists to showcase their creative work and foster cross-cultural exchange.

    “We were delighted to support the Kazakh side and provide a platform for showcasing their creative work,” said Murphy.

    The collaboration between the Smithsonian Artisan Initiative Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kazakh Union of Artisans, Chevron, and the United States Department of State in Almaty has been instrumental in promoting cultural exchange between Kazakh and American artists. Since its establishment in 2020, this partnership has facilitated the sharing of experiences and traditions, allowing artisans to learn from one another and create meaningful connections.

    The Kazakh Union of Artisans, established in 2012, has been dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional arts in Kazakhstan. By supporting artisans, the organization aims to enhance their living standards, foster professional growth, and contribute to the development of craft businesses and the creative industry in the country.
