An exhibition of Iranian art will be held at the Gapar Aitiev Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts from March 13 to 16, as announced by the cultural representation of the Iranian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan. The exhibition is part of the Iranian Culture Days in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Information, Sports, and Youth Policy.
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore various styles of Persian calligraphy (kufic, naskh, thuluth, nastaliq, and shikasta) and miniatures in Safavid and Qajar styles over the course of four days. The exhibition will feature works by a prominent master of Isfahan's minakari (enameled painting) and kalamkari (woodblock printing), showcasing techniques such as eslimi and khatai. Additionally, marquetry pieces made from different types of wood veneers will leave a lasting impression on visitors.
The exhibition will also include masterclasses where attendees can learn about Iranian arts from experts such as Ahmad Arab-Rahimi (wood carving, marquetry), Hossein Sardjoukian (metal engraving, enamel painting), Ruhollah Jahanbin (painting, miniature), and Saber Safai (calligraphy). The schedule for the masterclasses will be published on the official social media pages of the cultural representation of the Iranian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan.
The official opening of the event will take place on March 13 at 11:00, with free admission for all. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Iran through this unique exhibition and educational opportunity.
