SAODAT ISMAILOVA -– What was my name ? Menim ismim kim edi ?

Aspan Gallery is delighted to present the first solo show in Kazakhstan by Uzbekistani artist and filmmaker Saodat Ismailova.

Saodat Ismailova is a film director and artist from Tashkent. In her works, she explores the complex identity of a Central Asian woman, through which she analyses the underlying system of myths and rituals.

The exhibition Menim ismim kim edi? started to take shape around the video Zukhra, the artist’s first such installation, that has been presented at the Central Asia Pavillion at the Venice Biennale in 2013.
