"The young man, feeling the breath of death, knelt down and kissed the shoes of the executioners" - the harrowing story of witnesses to the civil war in Tajikistan
The 1990s were a challenging and turbulent period for the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Newly independent states such as Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, and Armenia found themselves engulfed in civil wars and armed conflicts. “Daryo” presents the stories of individuals who witnessed and endured the atrocities of the Tajik civil war (1992–1997), a conflict that claimed thousands of lives.

Imam Al-Bukhari and Sukarno: A cross-cultural journey supported by global philanthropy
Imam Al-Bukhari and Sukarno, a theatrical-musical production celebrating the shared cultural heritage of Indonesia and Uzbekistan, had its world premiere in Samarkand in November 2024. Featuring over 60 performers, the play brings to life the journey of Indonesia’s first president, Sukarno, to Uzbekistan in 1956. "This project represents a cultural dialogue," says Restu Imansari Kusumaningrum, the play's Artistic Director. "The arts need to be supported, not just by the government, but by the community—by private donors and philanthropists. Without them, many of these stories would remain untold." With a production cost of over $100,000, the production showcases the crucial role of private sector support in making such cultural initiatives a reality.
