Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva organizes event in Washington on Uzbek arts and literature

AKIPRESS.COM - On the occasion of the Navruz spring festivity, Uzbekistan’s Permanent Delegation to UNESCO Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva, Islam Karimov's younger daughter, held on March 15 a cultural event devoted to Uzbek literature and arts at the Uzbek embassy in Washington.

The event has released the English translation of the book “Farewell to Fairy Tales” by renowned Uzbek author Erkin Azam. Erkin Azam’s selected prose was translated into the English and French languages with the help of Uzbekistan’s Permanent Delegation to UNESCO.

This edition comprises two novellas and two shorts stories which lead the reader to deeper understanding of how the external, political and economic transformations of recent history were reflected in the consciousness, thoughts and lives of the Uzbek people.

Erkin Azam is the editor-in-chief of the highly acclaimed Tafakkur magazine, an Uzbek periodical covering social and literary issues.

The evening of Uzbek literature and arts in Washington also included an exhibition of paintings by prominent Uzbek artists Javlon Umarbekov and Bobur Ismoilov, as well as piano performances by Fatima Ahmadova, a talented young pianist, who is a student at the Tashkent State Conservatory of Music. 

Karimova-Tillyaeva said she hoped that the event would contribute to the better understanding of the scope and style of contemporary Uzbek arts, literature and music, as well as spark interest in the rich traditions, culture and spiritual values of Uzbek people.

The cultural event was attended by US officials, representatives of Washington-based diplomatic corps and academic circles.
