Artist Mary O’Connor: Silk Road Behind the Lens

From the soaring mountain peaks to the lonely desert landscapes, from the people and places to the textures and tastes, acclaimed Irish artist Mary O’Connor has got behind the lens to capture the spirit of Central Asia. The result is “Head Over Heels” , a new book of mind-blowing photographs that takes you on a journey down the Silk Road, winding through the entrancing lands of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

The Archer Culture

The Archer

The three major features of the steppe warrior’s life were archery, horsemanship and pastoral nomadism. These were the building blocks of the steppe life. And a true man in early days was judged by three skills that he had mastered: the first being the ability to fight, the second ability was to shoot and hit the bull’s eye, i.e. the archery, and the third was horse racing. These were so called “three games men love to play”.  Murat Gabdousalimov, whom I was happy to meet and to talk to, seemed mastered the first two skills very well and now is on his way to the third one.

The Hymn of Love and Freedom Culture

The Hymn of Love and Freedom

  Today, Mukagali ‘s books are on display on the front shelves of Golden Fund of the Kazakh poetry, but, unfortunately, glory found him long after his death. Rabindranath Tagore, the great Indian poet, once said: “A nation that has in its possession something that it treasures most, is obligated to make it the world’s heritage.” To the full extent these words could be applied to Mukagali Makataev (Feb 9, 1931 – 26 Mar, 1976), the Kazakh lyrical poet of ‘70s.  February 14 2013, 15:54 15 446 просмотрs

Atop the Naryn Sand Wave Culture

Atop the Naryn Sand Wave

Saturday morning, right on cue, was sunny, warm and windless. Inspired by the spirit of adventures I was up in arms, when I arrived to “KvadroDrive – Atyrau” base, the company which organizes regional tours on ATVs for those who want to travel to the reaches of the native soil. Together with the group of tourists who are anxious to experience the feeling of drive, I started to get prepared for a trip to Naryn sand dunes.  November 8 2012, 16:40 4 148 просмотрs
