Ongoing and Completed Projects

In November 2026, the Uzbek National Puppet Theatre from Tashkent will be visiting Germany for the first time. With its production ‘KARVON SAROY – A Fairytale Journey along the Silk Road’, the renowned ensemble will be performing in Berlin, offering German audiences a glimpse into a fascinating theatrical tradition that combines music, dance, humour and various forms of traditional puppetry.
On Sunday 25 October, San’at - Forum für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft e.V. transformed a Berlin venue into a hub of Uzbek culture and hospitality. The highlight of the event was the joint preparation of the traditional Tashkent wedding plov under the guidance of head chef Shokhayit Odilov. The live cooking demonstration was accompanied by a varied presentation of Uzbek applied and fine arts, traditional clothing, music and dances from various regions of the country.
A wonderful and warm evening at the Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Germany brought together diplomats, artists, representatives of the cultural scene, members of the Uzbek community, and friends of Uzbekistan to celebrate this special anniversary.
A memorandum of cooperation was signed between the National Puppet Theater of the Republic of Uzbekistan and San’at Forum e.V. This agreement lays the foundation for a long-term partnership and the joint implementation of future cultural projects.
The San’at Forum team is pleased to have represented Uzbekistan at the “We are Berlin” family event, which took place at FEZ Berlin. The event generated a great deal of interest among Berliners and visitors to the city. We had the opportunity to showcase Uzbekistan’s rich culture, art, and traditions.
Celebrating International Children’s Day, San’at Forum is presenting the international children’s art exhibition “The World Through Children’s Eyes.” The exhibition brings together children from Germany and Uzbekistan and creates a space for encounter, creativity, and cultural exchange.
The cultural evening talk “The Allure of Central Asia – Uzbekistan” provided an impressive setting to showcase Uzbekistan as a country along the Silk Road, with its historic cities, rich artistic traditions, and cultural diversity.
With around 9,000 visitors, the Navro’z festival at the Humboldt Forum became one of the year’s biggest cultural highlights, creating a cultural space that visitors could truly experience.
The exhibition “A Legacy Spanning Centuries—Uzbek Miniature Art,” presented by San’at—Forum for Art, Culture, and Science e.V. to mark the 585th anniversary of Alisher Navoi and the 543rd birthday of Zahiriddin Muhammad Bobur, showcases contemporary approaches to miniature painting from Uzbekistan.
This exhibition served as the starting point for the founding of the San’at Association—Forum for Art, Culture, and Science. On display were works by contemporary Uzbek artists that had been rescued after going missing in Europe during the pandemic.
