Afghanistan and Central Asia

New York City’s Winkleman Gallery is currently exhibiting seven media projects called “I Dream of the Stans: New Central Asian Video.” One of the exhibitions curators, Leeza Ahmady, stated that their aim was to ‘assemble a representative collection that highlighted the adventurous spirit of regional artists.’ The exhibition features such CA artists as Said Atabekov, Rustam Khalfin, Julia Tikhonova, and Almagul Menlibayeva. Freelance journalist Deirdre Tynan wrote a critique and informative description for Eurasia.net. Parts of the exhibitions videos and stills can be seen on the Winkleman Gallery’s website here.  In case anyone is near by, the exhibition we continue until April 26.
