The Batyr Zakirov National Institute of Variety Art was established
Uzbekistan
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has unveiled an ambitious cultural reform plan aimed at modernizing the management of arts and crafts, promoting creative industries, and shaping national identity through innovation and international cooperation.
The program includes public-private partnerships for cultural centers, support for startups, and development of animated, scientific, and historical content that reflects the Uzbek brand.
The Batyr Zakirov National Institute of Variety Arts has been established, along with a scholarship and an international competition in his name. Top graduates will receive support to pursue master's degrees abroad.
In Andijan, the Sherali Jo‘rayev High School of Music and Arts will be launched, complete with a golden archive of his songs, recording studios, and TV contests for national music.
Uzbekistan will expand its musical infrastructure by creating regional orchestras in places like Fergana, equipped with modern instruments and stage technology.
Currently, the creative economy includes 14,000 enterprises employing around 100,000 people. The government aims to double the sector’s output and raise its GDP share to 5%.
Uzbekistan is deepening ties with international partners like UNESCO, UNCTAD, WIPO, and countries such as France, Italy, and Qatar. A joint academic platform with the UK’s Royal Foundation will train masters and support craft innovation in Tashkent.
In Bukhara, a UNESCO Creative City, 2,000 artisans work across 36 specializations. In September–November, the city will host its first contemporary art biennale, featuring 70 artists from 40 countries.
In Karakalpakstan, the Istiklol Park in Nukus will become a creative cluster, with the opening of the Aral School—an educational space merging traditional craftsmanship with modern design.
President Mirziyoyev instructed all responsible bodies to ensure the high-quality implementation of these initiatives.
