Nomad Sculpture

Dear Artists, Curators, Gallerists, Art lovers...!

You are welcome to join Nomadic Art Camp in Kyrgyzstan using the traditional practices and nomadic way of life as a source of inspiration for contemporary art practices on the shores of two alpine lakes, Issyk-Kul and Son-Kul, in the Tien Shan Mountains on the Great Silk Road https://vimeo.com/144071053

Nomadic Art Camp (NAC) initiated in 2011, has no previous precedent, and is unique for Central Asia, opening the door to communicate with nature, heritage, culture, diversity and art. Artists stay in a nomadic Kyrgyz yurt and travel to well-known, local, natural attractions to research this multi-ethnic country with amazing nature, rich history, spirituality, culture and biological diversity, encompassing traditional nomadic culture, shamanism, holy places, fauna and flora in a post-soviet setting. The participants will also be encouraged to partake in various aspects of the ecology and culture as a source for pure foods, recreation, detoxification, mental awakening, and restorative health from the medicinal properties of plants, music and folklore. The setting itself is an artistic muse.
