- Abstract
- Edited by Elsbeth Dekker and Robbie Schweiger, collects conversations with eleven contemporary artists — Umida Akhmedova (Uzbekistan), Babi Badalov (Azerbaijan), Saodat Ismailova (Uzbekistan), Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev (Kyrgyzstan), Taus Makhacheva (Dagestan), Yerbossyn Meldibekov (Kazakhstan), Almagul Menlibayeva (Kazakhstan), Maria Mkrtycheva (Armenia), Furqat Palvan-Zade (Azerbaijan), and Alexander Ugay (Russia) — whose practices engage post-Soviet histories across Central Asia and the Caucasus. Departing from Dutch collections and exhibitions, the conversations examine questions of decolonization and representation within Western art institutions. Includes three travelogues by Furqat Palvan-Zade.
