DESCRIPTION:About the virtual exhibition of Sakha artists \nhttps://sakha.
 to-be-named.org/ \nThe Virtual Exhibition of Sakha Artists (2024) is part 
 of the larger To Be - Named project - https://to-be-named.org/about/\, a p
 artnership between the European Union-funded CoLing project (Faculty of 
 “Artes Liberales” the University of Warsaw) — a multinational\, mult
 i-institutional program focused on minority languages\; the Experimental H
 umanities Collaborative Network (New York\, Bard College)\, which connects
  academic centers worldwide\; and the Recovering Voices Program at the Smi
 thsonian Institution (USA)\, which supports community efforts for language
  revitalization. The TBN project includes three branches: an edited volume
  (contracted with Routledge)\, a traveling exhibition\, and a website.\n\n
 The Sakha Virtual Exhibition showcases the works of seven independent arti
 sts and two artistic groups from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The collect
 ion of unique works by renowned artists is an expression of Sakha ethnic i
 dentity\, and each piece was selected in line with the To Be - Named proje
 ct's concept of names and naming\, allowing viewers to engage with the ori
 ginal Sakha culture and form their own interpretations of the artistic vis
 ions.\n\nThe exhibition presents the diversity of contemporary Sakha art: 
 photographs of Yakutia’s pristine nature\, sculptures made from mammoth 
 tusk\, bone\, wood\, and ice\, jewelry\, small sculptural forms\, graphic 
 arts\, lithographs\, paintings\, performance art\, theater\, and cinema. T
 he meeting and dialogue space is virtual\, provided by the project on the 
 “To Be - Named” website. This approach ensures the transnational natur
 e of the event\, blending science with art and offering the opportunity fo
 r free creative expression. Visitors to the “To Be - Named” project we
 bsite will have a unique opportunity to explore the original culture of th
 e Sakha people through the artworks of renowned Yakutian artists.\n\nExhib
