I would like to introduce Culture Caravan, a new educational project in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which I co-organize and have helped conceptualize. It is a space for people who want to learn more about history, culture, art and the innovations transforming them.
One of its formats is an evening lecture programme: an opportunity to discover something new and discuss it with interesting people in an informal setting. Small conversations with experts over tea, exhibition visits, workshops and other events are designed for people looking for meaningful ways to spend their leisure time.
We begin with an evening lecture entitled Central Asia: From the Stone Age to Islam. The speaker is Tigran Mkrtychev, Doctor of Art History, archaeologist, museum curator and director of the I. V. Savitsky State Museum of Arts in Nukus.
