Kazakhstan Honours Serbian Women's Legacy in Almaty Exhibition

Kazakhstan is set to honour and celebrate Serbian women's history and legacy in an exhibition titled 'Serbian Women Through the Ages'. The event, held in Almaty, is a testament to the cultural cooperation between the two nations and a showcase of women's empowerment.

The exhibition, inaugurated on Oct. 3, spans 7,500 years of history, tracing the role of women in Serbian society from prehistoric times to the present day. It features over 70 unique artifacts and notable Serbian women's biographies. The display is a result of a cultural partnership launched last year between Almaty and Belgrade museums and will run until Nov. 15.

The event was praised by Kazakh Minister of Culture and Information Aida Balayeva as a new milestone in cultural cooperation between Kazakhstan and Serbia. Tamara Vučić, the First Lady of Serbia, attended the inauguration, commending Kazakhstan's hospitality and drawing parallels between the two nations as crossroads of civilizations, with women being the pillars of family, nation, and culture.

Director of the Belgrade City Museum Jelena Medaković reflected on the exhibition, highlighting women's resilience and creativity throughout history, noting their influence not just on families but entire communities.

The 'Serbian Women Through the Ages' exhibition is a celebration of women's power and legacy, fostering cultural ties between Kazakhstan and Serbia. Following this exhibition, the Goethe-Institut Belgrad will host Tanja Ostojić's exhibition 'Frauengesundheit/Körperpolitik' (Women's Health/Body Politics) on Nov. 5, further enriching the cultural exchange between the two countries.
