Two Sides of the Same Force: A Photo ReportageTwo Sides of the Same Force: A Photo ReportageThe Red Bull Dance Your Style Championship has been running since 2019. In 2026, the competition is taking place in 57 countries, from Brazil to Japan. The format is the same everywhere: 16 finalists, one-on-one battles, music unknown in advance and no professional judging panel. Each round is decided by the audience. The winner of the national final then advances to the World Final, which this year will take place in Switzerland. For Uzbekistan, this is the second consecutive year of participation.

Aigul Kulbekova: Building Cultural ContinuityAigul Kulbekova: Building Cultural ContinuityThere are professions whose results cannot be seen straight away. We can judge a performance by the audience’s applause, a book by its sales, or an architect by the building they have designed.

It is the work of people who ensure that culture does not end with the generation that created it, but continues to live, evolve and be passed on.Alfiya Kalmaganbetova#Cinema and Performing Arts#Ideas & Analysis
The Story of Four Women Who Preserved the Uzbek School of DanceThe Story of Four Women Who Preserved the Uzbek School of DanceWhen people speak of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, they usually think of archives, museums, recordings, government programmes or festivals. Yet it is possible to preserve an ensemble's name, its costumes and even its repertoire while gradually losing something that cannot be documented: the artistic language of the school itself. The history of Uzbek stage dance shows that its continuity has been sustained not only through dance productions but also through the people who, in different periods, assumed different responsibilities. This chain did not emerge by chance. It was forged over decades.Alfiya Kalmaganbetova#Traditions#Heritage & Identity
