Almagul Menlibayeva

Almagul Menlibeyeva’s educational background is in the Soviet Russian avant-garde school of Futurism, which she combines with a nomadic aesthetic of post-Soviet, contemporary Kazakhstan. She uses the medium of video and photography, and like to work with the notion of memory and reality. Her archaic atavism is interested in her video explorations in the Steppes and in post-Soviet Asia.
