The Center for Contemporary Art CCA Tashkent has begun its operations in Tashkent, bringing together exhibition and educational spaces, a library, a concept store, as well as venues for meetings and research.
As reported by the Head of the Administration of the President of Uzbekistan, Saida Mirziyoyeva, on her Telegram channel, this complex has become the first institution of this format in Central Asia.
The center is located in the building of a former diesel power plant built in 1912. The architectural transformation of the historical site was carried out by the international bureau Studio KO.
CCA Tashkent plans to host exhibitions and research projects, lectures and discussions, film screenings, concerts, and performances. Thus, the venue will bring together various directions of contemporary cultural and artistic activity.
Special attention in the project is paid to interaction with artists, curators, and international organizations.
According to Saida Mirziyoyeva, the center should help promote Uzbek authors, expand their audience, and increase their recognition outside the country.
She described the opening of CCA Tashkent as the emergence of another modern cultural venue of international level in Uzbekistan.
The creation of the center was made possible thanks to the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan and the work of the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan.
