Sano collective is a group of artists and researchers united by an interest in cultural memory as a hybrid form that, paradoxically, encompasses both personal and collective experience.

Our art practice (even when projected online onto the international stage) remains deeply rooted in Tajikistan and the history of Dushanbe, in Tajik poetics and traditions.

The group’s project work includes exhibitions, lectures, residencies, as well as analytical and pioneering practices that help shape the contemporary art scene in Tajikistan.

We work both online and offline in different countries.
