The first volume of BOSMA is dedicated to the Bukhara Biennial — a meeting point of contemporary art and traditional craftsmanship. Bringing together artists, artisans, designers and thinkers from Uzbekistan, Central Asia and beyond, the issue features interviews and dialogues with Subodh Gupta, Davlat Toshev, Aziza Shadenova, Saule Suleimenova, Slavs and Tatars, Shakuntala Kulkarni and others.
The cover itself becomes a map of the Biennial, tracing its places, encounters and connections. Alongside visual stories and photo shoots, the issue includes essays, interviews and dialogues, as well as visits to architecture and craftsmanship studios.
