11th Tashkent International Biennale of Contemporary Art to be held in the capital of Uzbekistan on October 12–16th

Opening ceremony will take place on 12 October at the Central Exhibition Hall

 

11th Tashkent International Biennale of Contemporary Art, titled “Event Horizon”, will be held in Tashkent from 12th to 16th October this year.

Works by international and Uzbek artists will be displayed at leading museums and galleries across the capital. Program will also include a visit to Samarkand, giving cultural tourists visiting Uzbekistan in October an opportunity to explore both contemporary art and the country’s historical heritage as part of a single trip.

Biennale has been held every two years since 2001. This year’s theme explores the human condition at the threshold of technological and cultural change. According to the concept of the event, Tashkent, located at the crossroads of ancient caravan routes, is presented as an “oasis” — a symbol of hope and new meanings.

Opening ceremony will take place on 12th October at the Central Exhibition Hall. In the following days, exhibitions will open at the Tashkent House of Photography, the Kamoliddin Behzad Museum of Miniature Art of the East, the Uzbekistan State Museum of Arts and the Ikuo Hirayama International Culture Caravanserai. The programme will also feature performances, masterclasses, an international scientific and practical conference, and the “Charxpalak” exhibition dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Uzbekistan’s independence. The biennale will conclude on 16th October

The 10th biennale, held in 2024, brought together more than 40 international participants from around 30 countries.
