Art Events in Almaty

The title of the concert Music for a man with a movie camera draws upon Dziga Vertov’s seminal film

The exhibition Qonaqtar includes archival footage from the anti-nuclear movement Nevada-Semipalatinsk, a reminder of the historical and ecological traces left on the steppe by the largely hidden Soviet nuclear tests.

Immerse yourself in a city where the streets become playgrounds and joy fills every corner. The Forbidden Playground family festival unfolds over several days (May 29-31) as a city-wide event, transforming Almaty’s public spaces into temporary zones of play, spontaneity, and care.
