Description

The exhibition, dedicated to the revitalization of the art of the Crimean Tatar people, takes its name from the traditional dance "Haitarma", which means "return". The exhibition and accompanying catalogue are based on the works of contemporary Crimean artists and craftsmen, including paintings, graphic art, ceramics, embroideries, reconstructions of traditional costumes, jewelry, and kilim carpets. Each participant in the exhibition has a brief biographical sketch to accompany their work. To showcase the roots of their work, the exhibition also features examples of traditional art from the 19th and early 20th centuries from the collections of the State Museum of Oriental Art and the Mardjani Foundation. 

Additionally, a separate section of the exhibition focuses on photography, including materials from the N. Ibraimov collection and the work of the contemporary photographer Rifkhat Yakupov from Kazan.
