From the last cultural experiences, to traditions that haven’t changed in hundred years, Azerbaijan shows the influence of all the artists that have passed through and called it home.
Art
The collections at Heydar Aliyev Centre and Yarat Contemporary Art Centre show the incredible diversity and energy of Azerbaijan art today. It has always been famed for decorative arts like weaving , silverwork and metalwork. But Faig Ahmed has taken carpets to a new level with his mindbending design!
Fashion
The traditional Kelaghayi silk scarf is still a strong expression of Azerbaijanian identity. But these days. We’re at the forefront of contemporary chick, with Azerbaijan fashion week in its seventh season, and our style even providing the inspiration for Leonie Mergen’s “Karabakh” collection at Berlin fashion week.
Music
Here people like to sing , dance and play music. The classic form of Azerbaijani music ,the mugam , is so good it represented World Music on the Voyager space probe! Jazz mixes mugam with blues, African music and modern western style. But the new favorite one is Eurovision Song Contest.
