Mural dedicated to Abai Kunanbayev unveiled in Petropavlovsk
A mural commemorating the 180th anniversary of the birth of Abai Kunanbayev, the great Kazakh poet and philosopher, was unveiled at the intersection of Pushkin and Abai streets in Petropavlovsk, Kazinform News Agency reports.
The artwork is displayed on the wall of an academic building at Kozybayev University.
The mural features a portrait of Abai framed by elegant national ornaments. The sketch and design of the mural were developed by students and faculty of the university’s Department of Construction and Design.
"The initiative to create a mural dedicated to Abai came from the students themselves. Our university trains future designers, and the concept for this artwork was developed by the students with support from their instructors.
The mural is located at the intersection of Abai and Pushkin streets. I believe this piece will help instill in the city’s residents—especially the youth—values such as humanity, honesty, justice, and morality," said Yerbol Isakayev, Chairman of the Board and Rector of Kozybayev University.
As reported earlier, the Abai Center was officially inaugurated at the National Library of Montenegro in Podgorica.
