In the gallery spaces of Palazzo Citterio, Milan, the Uzbekistan Art & Culture Development Foundation presents When Apricots Blossom — an exhibition celebrating the art, craft, and culture of Uzbekistan, one of Central Asia’s most ancient and storied civilisations.

Bringing together artistic traditions, contemporary practices, and cultural exchange, the exhibition invites visitors into a journey through Uzbek identity and creativity.

The exhibition also presents Where The Water Ends — a specially commissioned audio-visual documentary by filmmaker Manuel Correa and architect Marina Otero Verzier. Following Karakalpak communities as they confront the erasure of their ancestral landscape, the film weaves together rituals and public forums to question how shared pasts are reconstructed and which memories endure. A meditation on memory, dissent, and loss in the face of climate collapse.

Black Engineering has been appointed as main contractor and event producer for When Apricots Blossom, responsible for the full production and operational delivery of the event. Communications and international PR by the Crosses.
