SUKHUM / AQW'A -- Performance at the Abkhaz Drama Theater, named after Samson Chanba, will present a New Year's play called "Magic Box."

In Istanbul, at the Depo Gallery, an exhibition opened with the participation of the Abkhaz cultural platform SKLAD. It got its name from a video installation by British artist Sam Jury "This you must remember", about the memories of the residents of Sukhum about the first day of the war. Asida Butba, curator of SKLAD, told us about this exhibition and why it may be of interest for Istanbul residents.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA) presents Existence-co-Existence, a solo project by the Zak Kaghado. In his works, the American artist of Circassian origin turns to the national original culture of the North Caucasus, rethinking its heritage in installations and canvases close in style to the American expressionism of the second half of the 20th century.

SUKHUM / AQW'A -- An anniversary-exhibition of the famous Abkhazian sculptor Amiran Adleiba has opened in the Central Exhibition Hall, where the works of different years mark the stages along the artist's creative path.

The personal exhibition is multifaceted – it presents monumental works and small sculptural forms, drawings and paintings, executed both in an academic and in a modernist manner.
