Central Asian Project is a collaborative exchange organised by SPACE (London), Cornerhouse (Manchester), and AsiaArt+ (Almaty, Kazakhstan). Co-curated by Anna Harding, Kathy Rae Huffman and Yuliya Sorokina, it showcases work from UK artists and some of today's most influential artists from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The exhibition draws attention to the similarities and differences between culture and contempory art in these regions with works that deal with subject matter as diverse as Muslim prayer, Kazakh eagle hunters, the phenomena of Namoi Campbell, and punk romantic Shamanism.
