In this episode, two artists from Central Asia talk about identity, community, and the courage it takes to create against all odds. Nazira Karimi revisits her family’s fragmented past to understand what it means to belong in a region marked by migration and colonial pressure. Nurperi Orunbaeva shares how a fight for justice pushed her into art, and how her work now challenges forced silence and patriarchy.
