The Qazaq Renaissance

Every known civilization has experienced a period of decline as well as prosperity, the European Renaissance being a prime example. It demonstrated human capabilities, both in science and art, thanks to which Europe was the center of the world before the world wars. If we analyze the current state of affairs in Kazakhstan, in terms of art and science, we are in a kind of transition period, where there are big minuses, in terms of politics, and in general management of the country, but there are also pluses. Since our common homeland is a multicultural country, with a large number of different confessions, a person who grew up in such an environment looks at the world differently! Knowing other languages broadens your horizons and gives you access to new knowledge, that's why the rhetoric of the nationalists, which shows people's lack of culture, is alien to me. On the other hand, I don't particularly like nostalgia for the Soviet Union and imperial statements of some characters. Now we are in such a situation, where we can focus on the golden mean and develop together, choosing a common path of cultural development, where everyone will learn from each other and respect the language and traditions of other peoples. In this picture I wanted to show the "Kazakh Renaissance", exactly from the point of view of multinationality and mutual respect for each other, where everyone can take the best qualities of one nation and develop a common culture in Kazakhstan. Apollo is the patron of creativity and creative people, a reference to the culture of the West and the Renaissance. The tape recorder in the background is a way of transmitting cultural information through music and language. The character in the center is a man who grew up in Kazakhstan and absorbed the knowledge of different peoples, but at the same time remembering the precepts of the Aruaks. The letter G stands for the gamut of cultures and the word ғылым (science). And finally the chess piece of horse, speaks about uniqueness of us as a single nation, which loves horse meat )))) #galymzhanbalsary #modernartistsalmaty #isuksstvo kazakhstan #young artistsalmaty #theqazaqrenaissance #conceptual art #popart #contemporary art #postmodernism #picturecollection
