The British Council in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan announced the second year of the Creative Producers program's opening. Program is aimed at developing creative production in the countries of Central Asia.
Last year, as a result of the program, our participants created the STYQ festival - an open experimental platform for projects and collaborations in the field of art. The project's mission is to provide an opportunity to develop art through unity, empathy, and experiment.
This year, we invited creative producers at the initial stage of their careers, ready to join the festival and develop new projects with the STYQ team in Almaty.
The program consisted of several stages:
- masterclasses in Almaty and Tashkent with tutors from Great Britain;
- development of projects, submission of projects for consideration for subsequent implementation (teams formed from participants in the process of conducting masterclasses);
- upon completion of the masterclasses, the most successful projects received financial support for implementing their projects under the auspices of the festival.
