Summer offers a quaint, colourful life. It is the time to enjoy, relax and discover. Whether with family or friends, summer is an opportunity to create memories that stay with us for a long time.
This issue brings together many colourful features about summer activities. On p.16 you’ll find the best picnic spots and on p.22 you can read more about Uzbek suzani patterns and how to use them to decorate your home. For art lovers, there is a feature on Turkestan avant-garde art on p.30 – we’re sure you’ll be inspired to visit the Savitsky Museum in Nukus.
For a deeper immersion into Uzbekistan’s culture and heritage, read about the tea ceremony on p.32 and learn about the stunning details and peculiarities of Uzbek architecture on p.12.
We also feature two talented photographers in this issue: Feruz Rustamov (p.42) and Danat Mingachev (p.46), who share the best shots of their travels in Zaamin and Tashkent.
This issue’s stunning cover was created by master photographer Rinat Karimov and one of the country’s leading fashion designers, Dildora Kasimova. We think this beautiful image shows a fresh look at Uzbekistan, a country which always offers something new to discover.
