Tashkent launches state-of-the-art center for contemporary arts
On September 6, the capital of Uzbekistan will host the unveiling ceremony of the Centre for Contemporary Arts Tashkent (CCA Tashkent), UzA reports.
The new cultural space is housed in a historic building constructed in 1912 by architect Wilhelm Heinzelmann. Originally, it served as a tram depot and a diesel power plant.
The building, maintaining its historical form and industrial character, has now been converted into a hub for contemporary art, scientific research, and cultural exchange.
The center’s architectural design, created by the renowned French Studio KO Bureau, skillfully merges historical heritage with contemporary infrastructure. It features exhibition halls, a library, and educational areas.
The center will serve as a venue for contemporary art exhibitions, cultural events, educational lectures, and film screenings.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that the Kazakh National Arts University is set to open its first regional branch.
