On Tuesday, Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, buzzed with cultural spirit as two dynamic Chinese art exhibitions opened their doors. The opening ceremony marked the debut of "Galloping Steeds – 2025 Chinese Horse Culture Exhibition," featuring over 150 exhibits—from traditional saddles and captivating horse-themed photography to expressive calligraphy, vibrant paintings, sculptures, and intricate paper cuttings. 🐎
Equally impressive was the "Chinese White – The Art of Dehua White Porcelain Exhibition," showcasing more than 40 modern white porcelain pieces. Among these, horse-themed porcelain reflects the artistic kinship and shared respect between the two cultures. 🖼️
In a heartwarming gesture of cultural exchange, representatives from Chinese and Turkmenistani institutions exchanged thoughtful gifts, including a collection of Magtymguly's poetry translated into Chinese, exquisite porcelain items, and other artworks.
Open until early July, these exhibitions offer a unique opportunity for art lovers, students, and adventurers to experience a creative fusion of tradition and modernity. It's a celebration that bridges borders and inspires young minds with a rich tapestry of cultural storytelling.
