    Uzbekistan's future art initiatives in 2023

    Uzbekistan's future art initiatives in 2023

    Uzbekistan, known for its cultural heritage and Silk Road architecture, is turning its attention to contemporary art with a series of ambitious projects and events scheduled for the coming years.

    One of the significant projects is the construction of a new State Art Museum in the capital, Tashkent, designed by Tadao Ando Architects & Associates. This museum is set to become Central Asia's largest exhibition space, covering over 40,000 square meters and housing a collection of more than 100,000 objects. The opening date is yet to be announced.

    Another notable development is the restoration of the Center for Contemporary Art (CCA) in Tashkent, currently undergoing extensive renovations by the French architectural firm Studio KO. It is expected to open in 2024.

    What's driving this new interest in contemporary art? Uzbekistan's partnership in China's Belt and Road Initiative since 2015, rich natural resources, and a growing economy have contributed to its significance on the global stage. 

    Under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's leadership since 2016, Uzbekistan has implemented reforms to protect its heritage and natural resources. The government established the Art and Culture Development Foundation, which has played a crucial role in promoting Uzbekistan's cultural presence internationally.

    The foundation has collaborated with prestigious institutions like the Louvre, the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, and Berlin's James-Simon-Gallery to showcase Uzbek artifacts and archaeological treasures. The country is also strengthening its cultural connections with the Middle East and is participating in global cultural events.

    The Center for Contemporary Art (CCA) aims to engage the local community and encourage arts patronage. A residency program in Tashkent's Old City offers artists access to studios and traditional knowledge to promote contemporary art in the region.

    Looking ahead, Uzbekistan has ambitious plans, including launching a new art biennial in Bukhara in 2025. This initiative intends to bring together local and international artists, artisans, and specialists, fostering an exchange of expertise and insights.

    Uzbekistan is not only investing in contemporary art but also addressing past mistakes and resource mismanagement through cultural programs. The Aral Sea basin region, once a large lake and now a desert, is a focus of attention. Uzbekistan is determined to reshape the narrative of the region's post-catastrophic phase and improve its conditions.
