This project, prepared under the mentorship of Honored Artist and Curator Sabina Shikhlinskaya, as well as with the participation of contemporary Azerbaijani artists and curators, will be presented at the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, one of the rare gems of our national architecture. The exhibition aims to bring Nasimi’s poetry and philosophy to new aesthetic levels through the multi-layered expressive possibilities of contemporary art. Here, visitors will encounter works that combine the magic of words, the metaphysical symbolism of light, the depth of pain, and the highest spiritual layers of human perfection, thus witnessing the spiritual and aesthetic dialogue established by Nasimi’s heritage with contemporary artistic practices.
