Azerbaijan promises UNESCO $5 million

The solo exhibition by Azerbaijani carpet artist Elnara Rasulova has opened in Istanbul. The exhibition, held in one of the city's historical locations, showcases Rasulova's collection, featuring approximately 50 carpets, including 17 of her own works. Among the pieces in the collection, one dates back to the 17th century.

The pursuit of understanding Azerbaijan’s history is an ongoing journey, increasingly woven into modern literature, culture, and national pride. A recent contribution to this endeavor is Yusif Aghayev’s new book, “The Art of War in the 11th-13th Centuries in the Works of Great Azerbaijani Poet Nizami Ganjavi,” presented at the National Museum of the History of Azerbaijan. This event marked a dual triumph in Azerbaijan’s cultural and academic circles, linking medieval military history with the famous works of Nizami Ganjavi, a poet whose legacy has long enriched the nation’s identity.

In an era where climate change resonates as one of the most pressing global challenges, the issue has found a poignant, visually compelling voice in Latvia's animated film Flow.

In recent years, women’s presence in Azerbaijani literature has sparked conversations about equality in the arts, especially as new female writers and poets struggle to make their voices heard. Reflecting this struggle, “Salaam Cinema Cultural and Art Sanctuary” recently held an open-mic event under the banner “Time for Women on the Literary Stage.”
