'Talents and admirers'
We at J.Kim love to spotlight people that inspire us and their work. And it is especially important for us to interact with women from Central Asia that move arts and culture forward in our region. Today, in what we hope will become a recurring segment, we want to introduce you to Jama Nurkalieva, Director at the famous Tselinny center for contemporary culture in Kazakhstan’s largest city, Almaty. We asked her to share her thoughts on what she feels is the most important part of her job.
“For me, Tselinny is not a space, it’s an opportunity to create. Since we experiment with formats, we always find ourselves in a place of vulnerability, closely watched by our audience: artists, researchers, activists. As far as I’m concerned, we do manage to create the proverbial dialogue, of which the point is not to validate or rate ideas, but rather to be capable to doubt and to question, along with developing critical thinking and ceaselessly reflecting about what it is to be human in a society, in a state, or in space and time.”
