Project development logic and outcomes
The project implementation consisted of two components: educational and creative. At the first stage (August-December 2020), twenty participants from among art activists, designers, artists and other creators selected on a competitive basis were trained within the first School of the Art Activism in Tajikistan. They went through a series of workshops and trainings on human rights, gender equality, stigma and discrimination, tolerance, intersection theory and etc.
Then they had generated ideas and concepts of art objects for the Art Exhibition. In June 2021, in the framework of a two-day Art Camp the participants presented their art works and developed the conception of the Art Exhibition titled “Choice”.
The Art Exhibition held in August 2021, where 25 art products (installations, paintings, photos, video clips, performance and sculptures) were presented as well as an Art Exhibition Booklet "Choice", including pictures of all art objects and their description was published.
