Munisa Kholkhujaeva
Munisa Kholkhujaeva is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tashkent, working across textile practices, drawing, installation, performative formats, and their dynamic intersections. Her current practice extends to experimental work with metal and ceramics. Her artistic inquiry operates through research as a mode of understanding the world, its forms of life, and the mechanisms of their interaction. Biological and existential cycles, decentralized models of coexistence, and modes of being that exceed human perspective are consistently present across her projects.
Collaborative practice constitutes an essential dimension of Kholkhujaeva’s artistic research. Working in dialogue with other artists, curators, and collectives, she investigates shared modes of authorship, collective production, and relational forms of creativity. This approach is reflected in her participation in numerous international and regional projects, including her collaboration with the Central Asian research collective DAVRA and Saodat Ismailova for documenta 15 in Kassel, her work in the Bukhara Biennale, and projects developed within the framework of the Uzbekistan Pavilion at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale, alongside other institutional platforms.
"I am drawn to contradictions and to complex, chaotic rhythms that carry their own sense of order. My role as an artist is to be a conduit between the idea and the viewer, remaining true to both."
