Art-Kazan is a unique initiative by UN Women regional programme “Making Every Woman and Girl Count” and School of Data, designed for creative talents from across Central Asia to participate in an online training of 5 sessions on data art and gender data/analysis, a three-day immersive art residency in the heart of Central Asia, and a platform to showcase their work at an international exhibition. Inspired by the traditional kazan pot, symbolizing unity and shared cultural heritage, Art-Kazan unites artists to integrate gender data into contemporary artworks to champion gender equality and inspire transformative change in Central Asia.
The initiative aims to enhance the data literacy of artists from across Central Asia, enabling them to create engaging and impactful artworks using gender data to bolster discussion and debates on gender equality emerging issues in the region. It also fosters collaboration and networking, sharing diverse perspectives and building a supportive creative community of women’s rights advocates.
