The surroundings of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan will be enriched with modern art installations

🔴 Expressions of family, homeland, language, knowledge, and tolerance

🔴 Sources of first impressions about the Center

Modern art installations promoting national and universal values are planned to be constructed around the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, currently being built in Tashkent.

Projects for these art installations, developed by the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan, were presented at an extended scientific council meeting held at the Center. More than 20 project authors showcased their works. The proposed installations reflect six key themes: family, homeland, language, knowledge, and tolerance.

During the meeting, it was emphasized that these installations must possess not only aesthetic appeal but also strong spiritual and educational impact. They should inspire the younger generation toward knowledge, critical thinking, and creativity.

Academic Akbar Hakimov provided an artistic and conceptual analysis of several proposed projects. He noted that the installations should comply with the principles of Islamic art, avoiding excessive detail and human imagery wherever necessary.

“Although the art installations around the Center are developed according to contemporary artistic standards, the presence of unnecessary detail and verbosity in some of them weakens their artistic impact”, he stated. “Particularly from the standpoint of Islamic art, caution must be exercised when depicting human figures. When visitors arrive at the Center, these installations will shape their first impressions. Therefore, they must serve as a meaningful and spiritually rich gateway that deeply reflects the essence of Islamic civilization”.

Davronbek Maksudov, first deputy chairman of the Committee on Religious Affairs, noted the presence of innovative approaches within the proposed projects. He emphasized that for young visitors and international guests, these art installations should serve as symbolic invitations toward spiritual and intellectual exploration.

At the conclusion of the meeting, a proposal was put forward to form a special working group comprising experts from the Center of Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, members of the Scientific Council, as well as renowned artists and sculptors to select the most appropriate projects.
