In a still from Saodat Ismailova's Two Horizons, two hilltops feature in a midnight-blue landscape, one in the front and one further back. A shining star is right above the hill furthest back.

Restored & Unseen

18 000 Worlds

Exhibition

Saodat Ismailova is an important voice within the first generation of Central Asian artists to come of age in the post-Soviet era. In her work, she investigates the rich, complex and layered culture of the region where she was born. She portrays the spirit of Central Asia, crossroads of cultures, leaving lots of space for intuition, stories and music.

In her first retrospective exhibition 18,000 Worlds, Saodat Ismailova guides us into the hidden world of myth and ritual in Central Asia.

Saodat Ismailova

The Museum of My Mind

In his work, Felix de Rooy focuses on the way in which different cultures see one another. He describes his style as 'psychic realism': colourful, dreamy images in which human and mythological figures are central.

Overview of films by and with Felix de Rooy, a filmmaker from Curaçao seen by many young makers in the Netherlands and in the Caribbean as a major source of inspiration.
