From the Aral Sea to Milan: Uzbekistan tells its story between craftsmanship and climate crisis
Dal Mar d’Aral a Milano: l’Uzbekistan si racconta tra artigianato e crisi climatica
Uzbekistan made its official debut at the Milan Design Week with the exhibition 'When Apricots Blossom' at Palazzo Citterio. Curated by Kulapat Yantrasast and promoted by the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation, the immersive show presents contemporary reinterpretations of Uzbek craft, organized around three pillars of Karakalpak culture: textiles, food, and dwelling. It features installations by international designers like Bethan Laura Wood and a deconstructed yurt by WHY Architecture.
