00:14As in its glorious past, the city is once again a place where the best minds and towers from across the world meet.
00:24Bukhara, a Silk Road city, has become a unique stage for one of the most vibrant cultural events in Central Asia.
00:36The first ever, Bukhara Biennale, under the theme, Recipes for Broken Hearts, marks a turning point in Uzbekistan's cultural landscape.
00:45The Bukhara Biennale offers visitors more than just visual art.
00:49It's a fully immersive experience that engages the senses through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
00:56More than 200 creators and visionaries from 40 countries expose their work.
01:02What is very unique about this Biennale, it's not just about the contemporary art or decorative art, it's also about the cuisine, it's also about the gathering, it's also about the hospitality.
01:11When something like a heart breaks, there's beauty found in what we rebuild.
01:15We see this here in the city of Bukhara, one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities.
01:22Bukhara Biennale celebrates international creativity while working hand-in-hand with Uzbekistan's master artisans.
01:31Through this event, Uzbekistan is drawing global attention to its contemporary art landscape.
01:36But this is more than an exhibition, it's a symbol of dialogue, healing and cultural revival.
01:43The Biennale aspires to reintroduce Bukhara to the world as a modern hub of creativity.
01:49The Biennale's title draws inspiration from legend.
01:53When a prince's heart was broken, philosopher Bin Sina created Pilaf to heal him.
01:59Khadja Nasriddin, a legend in Central Asia.
02:02The concept of Biennale is asking the question how we can cure the broken heart.
02:09And in this work, Khadja gives a very uninspected answer to it.
02:13You must consume.
02:14If you think about raising Uzbekistan as a country, you will understand that it was based on the trade route between China and Europe.
02:24So, the consuming culture, the trade culture, is deep inside cultural DNA of Uzbekistan.
02:33Artists combine techniques of the past and the present for their artworks.
02:38Here I used the technique of luminogram.
02:41Luminogram is a quite ancient technique where you only use light and light-wrenching paper.
02:48Everyone can interpret something for themselves.
02:50I wanted to make miniature osseries, small, because the site that we're in is actually a caravanserai where donkeys used to eat.
03:01The osseries are not just funerary objects, but they're also objects that talk about how the departed souls continue to live on.
03:12Bukhara's historic architecture, from centuries-old madrasas to caravanserais, become a living gallery.
03:19Essentially, this pavilion, it was first built at the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
03:26The space allows for multiple usage to actually coexist, meaning originally designed as a space for communal gatherings, but also a space for prayer, for meditation.
03:42Early on, during the architectural competition, we really researched the historical construction materials to Jeddah, which are stone, timber and mud.
03:52And we thought to ourselves, if we can use those three materials, but in a modern way, with our technology around us today, then we should be able to create something that is inherently sustainable.
04:05I'm currently standing in the historic center of Bukhara.
04:16Every corner of the Gaushan Madrasa vibrates with unique colors, sounds and even scents, making Bukhara itself part of the exhibition.
04:25So many artists are heard now through this Biennale, and I'm really happy that this voice has materialized.
04:31What excites me is that a lot of artists and creators, they are creating contemporary art using the Uzbek cultural heritage.
04:41Bukhara Biennale is both festival and ritual, a recipe for healing and for making this Silk Road city as a cultural crossroads for the future.
