Personal exhibition by Tilek Sultan titled "Sacred Kimeshek"

From December 6, 2024, to January 6, 2025, the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan is hosting a personal exhibition by Tilek Sultan titled "Sacred Kimeshek."

Tilek Sultan is a member of the Union of Craftsmen of the Republic of Kazakhstan and a recipient of the UNESCO international quality mark. He is an active participant in international and national competitions, an expert in embroidery, a researcher of Kazakh national clothing, a restorer, a promoter, a collector, and a renowned ethnodesigner. His interest in traditional Kazakh crafts began in his childhood when he learned the art from his grandmother. Today, through complex embroidery techniques, he has restored numerous national garments such as kimesheks, zharghak shapan, embroidered trousers, women's shapan, as well as men's and women's tubeteykas.

Tilek Sultan has spent many years researching the women's headpiece kimeshek, actively working on its embroidery, and has built an extensive ethnographic collection of national costumes, jewelry, and household items.

The exhibition presents antique kimesheks typical of the regions and tribes of Kazakhstan, as well as national headwear created by the artist himself.

Tilek Sultan's work is a magnificent blend of the past and present of Kazakh culture.
