Women calligraphers in Taiwan have been walking their own paths. For too long, their presence went unnoticed, until a recent exhibition brings it into view.

L’ÉCOLE Middle East’s Poetry of Birds exhibition unfolds like a poem. Guided by a hoopoe rendered in golden calligraphy, visitors set out on a journey in search of art, beauty, and meaning.

Sangpuy’s voice carries generations of ancestral chants once sung across the plains and mountains of Taiwan, bridging spirit of the past with the heartbeat of the present.

Kokand, the cultural heart of the Fergana Valley, breathes centuries of traditions through its palace, mosques, and monuments.

Kokand’s International Festival of Handicrafts is a crossroads where Uzbekistan’s timeless craft heritage meets the artistic rhythms of Central Asia and beyond.

Hammomi Kunjak, the oldest surviving bathhouse in Central Asia, offers scrubs and massages that wash away the dust and weariness of your Silk Road journey.

The Bukhara Museum invites you into a world of traditional jewellery, worn not only to beautify the body but to tell stories of devotion, identity, and artistry.

Bukhara, a rising destination for calligraphy lovers, is not only home to two museums devoted to the art but also a cradle where its legacy continues to live and breathe.

Home to generations of artisans, Bukhara keeps the spirit of tradition alive — in embroidery, weaving, woodcarving, metalwork, and other time-honoured crafts.

With over 2,500 years of history, Bukhara feels suspended in time — a place where the memory of the Silk Road still lingers, inviting you to wander through this crossroads of ancient worlds, a city whose very name carries the meaning of “God’s Joy.”
