Flowing Memory

presented by Atesh Hub within the framework of the “Fly to Baku” art festival – invites viewers to re-examine Azerbaijani bathhouse culture through the conceptual lenses of water, memory, and purification. Here, the bathhouse is understood not merely as an architectural form or physical space, but as a vessel of social relations, personal recollections, and cultural continuity.

Featuring contemporary artworks by Honored Artist of Azerbaijan Sabina Shikhlinskaya, as well as Nargiz Ramizgizi, Aliya Bayramova, and Timur Zaripov, the exhibition transforms the bathhouse into a fluid field of memory flowing between the past and the present.

Addressing themes of cultural heritage preservation, ecological awareness, and social responsibility, “Flowing Memory” offers a poetic and conceptual reflection on the intertwined notions of memory and space.

The exhibition will take place at the Underground Bathhouse in Icherisheher on October 31.
