About the event
March 19 - April19
This is an exhibition where the steppe begins within you. A solo exhibition and sale by artist Vladimir Bystritsky. The title AQ JORǴA refers to one of the most beautiful and poetic images in steppe culture. Jorğa is a special type of horse known for its smooth, flowing gait. In Kazakh tradition, the jorğa is associated with mastery, rarity, and a unique state of harmony between rider, animal, and the vast steppe landscape. The word aq (“white,” “light”) adds a sense of purity and nobility to this image.

Omarova, pays homage to these courageous women. It is a story of unwavering loyalty, dignity in despair, and inner strength in the face of unspeakable injustice.
