The Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents the first solo exhibition in an Italian institution by Aziza Kadyri, an Uzbek artist who lives and works in London. In her practice, Kadyri builds a constant dialogue between history and fiction, tradition and innovation. The artist draws on craft-based languages, such as weaving and embroidery, alongside advanced technological systems such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, to explore themes of migration, uprooting and the construction of identity, with particular attention to the experiences of women from Central Asia and the diaspora.
Choreography of the Latent presents a cycle of new works that are part of the ongoing project Her Stage (2024–ongoing). The series is dedicated to the figure of the artist's grandmother and to her desire, as a young woman, to become a dancer of traditional Uzbek folk dances. The dream is obstructed by the social order of the time, shaped by the patriarchal and socialist structures of the 1950s, which confined women to the domestic sphere and led them to devote themselves to the textile industry.
