Description: This booklet, complied on the occasion of the exhibition `A New Silk Road: Algorithm of Survival and Hope`, showcases the work of two Kyrgyz artists, Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djmaliev. Their video, photographic, and performance projects aim to unpack multiple layers of Kyrgyz identity, including the country`s traditional nomadic and shamanic roots, its Soviet roots, and the new republic`s tenuous position in the current global capitalist system.
