Drawing on these experiences, she will reflect on the opportunities that international residencies offer for artistic practice and research.
The residency was organized by the Almaty Museum of Arts with the support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs.
Dariya Temirkhan is an artist who works in the media of digital and physical collages, sound art, and video art. In her works, Dariya focuses on water as a central theme, approaching it from the perspective of a citizen of Kazakhstan, where access to water, its absence, and its political and ecological significance are deeply embedded in everyday life. She observes and records reality as it unfolds, reflecting on how natural resources shape personal experience, collective memory, and the relationship between humans and their environment. These ideas are conveyed through the creation of abstract images and mythical beings that emerge from her works.
