OVERVIEW

In September, Ms. Kseniya Gorbacheva, Artist at 139 Documentary Center in Tashkent, delivered a community art workshop for TSUULL students, which took place at TSUULL Campus. The workshop was committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While there is no SDG for arts, culture, or heritage, the underlying SDG targets are full of cultural innovation, artistic values, and protection and promotion of heritage and values commitments. For instance, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) includes commitments to vibrant arts and cultural life while SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) reminds us of the importance of the cultural industries to fostering a sustainable social and economic life.
During the 90-min workshop, students were guided through a variety of image-making processes and techniques with casual guidance and friendly expertise along the way. They’re fully stocked with a fantastic array of second-hand books, magazines, and other paper treasures for you to explore and cut and paste with. By the end of the class, students took home their collage artworks as well as feeling inspired to continue this creative hobby!
