The exhibit celebrates Central Asian art and culture from the countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The exhibit features the work of current artists displaying traditional themes in a modern form, thus showing how Central Asian artists carry their culture with them in everyday life.  

The exhibit includes interactive elements including learning to write your name in Kazakh, making a bag with Central Asian designs, trying on traditional outfits, and sitting at a dastarkhān (traditional low table used for meals).
 
An opening reception will take place on April 3rd from 6-8 PM and will include Central Asian music, crafts, and snacks for visitors to enjoy.  
 
 The exhibit will be shown from April 3-14 at the Associated Students Art Gallery on the Terrace level of the Cesar Chavez Student Center on San Francisco State University’s campus. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 12-5 PM.
