UzA representatives, attending the exhibition, prepared a special report from the M7 Center in Msheireb.

Large-scale activity is being carried out in Uzbekistan to develop culture, literature, and art as an integral part of national spirituality, familiarizing the world community with our rich cultural heritage. Uzbekistan’s participation in the Design Doha Biennial is a striking example of this.

Fans of art and culture are visiting the center of Qatar’s capital, Msheireb. An exhibition is taking place here, in which Uzbekistan representatives are also participating with the project “Crafting Uzbekistan: Tradition in Threads”. Many lovers of beauty rush to see the works of Uzbekistan masters, which harmonize the rich traditions of handicrafts and the achievements of modern creativity.

At the exhibition, visitors are presented with samples of 49 types of handcraft, including joint works by Beirut designer Nada Debs and Honored Master of Uzbekistan Sirojiddin Rakhmatillayev.

“All visitors like the unique works showcased by Uzbekistan”, says Beirut-based designer Nada Debs. “For example, the trestle bed first presented to visitors’ attention as part of an international exhibition is of great interest. The common crafts of the Arab world and Uzbekistan are like a time capsule, reflecting the rich development history and exchange of ideas between our cultures”.

At the press conference organized for journalists, the National Pavilion of Uzbekistan aroused great interest, in particular, the rich history of the art of wood carving and textiles, the variety of products, their unique color scheme, and the talent of the artisans of our region.

It should be noted that the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan presents this project.

In Qatar, there is excellent recognition that Uzbekistan is a country that carefully preserves its rich cultural heritage while introducing the most advanced technologies into the sphere.

To support the Design Doha Biennial’s core message of “Celebrating Design Excellence,” the Foundation has established cooperation with Shepherd Studio in Bahrain to create innovative and contemporary exhibition designs.

On the very first day, thousands of art fans, local and foreign tourists, and representatives of the Uzbek diaspora visited the exhibition pavilions. In short, Uzbekistan’s efforts, which significantly contribute to developing world culture by preserving historical monuments and values of Central Asia and other regions, are highly recognized.

Thanks to the growing role of our cultural diplomacy in the international arena, Uzbek pavilions adorn many international exhibitions.

The “Crafting Uzbekistan: Tradition in Threads” exhibition will run until March 30, 2024.
