BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. On October 12,
YARAT Contemporary Art Space hosted Museum Night 2024, inviting art
enthusiasts to explore the theme of communication in various forms.
This year’s event focused on how we express our thoughts, emotions,
and challenges, continuing from last year’s theme of understanding
our inner world and embracing our surroundings.
A series of events unfolded throughout the night. First, on the
1st floor of the YARAT Centre, Ilhama Babayeva’s sound therapy
session allowed participants to discover the healing power of
sound, complemented by the use of singing bowls, vocal yoga, and
mantra performances.
On the 2nd floor of YARAT, Saint Twins Detective presented the
game “The Creator from the Alleyways,” offering participants an
exciting detective adventure set in the atmosphere of 1950s
America. Another significant highlight of the night was Theater
O2’s interactive performance, “5”, which explored the limitations
of social networks and emphasized the importance of face-to-face
communication.
At the Museum of Azerbaijani Painting of the 20th-21st
Centuries, attendees of talented artist Leyla Gabulova’s master
class, “Unspoken Narratives,” created artworks by exploring
emotions from various perspectives. On the 2nd floor of the same
venue, guests were captivated by the “XITAB” performance, a fusion
of electronic music, tar, and ghazal, blending traditional and
contemporary art, presented by DEWAR, Shahriyar Imanov, Punhan
Azim, and Rashad Rayyan.
Museum Night 2024 concluded with live performances by
Azerbaijani rap artists Okaber and Neocortex, held outdoors near
Baku Boulevard (next to the Azerbaijan Rowing and Canoe
Federation). Their performances underscored the powerful role that
rhythm and lyrics play in shaping emotional communication.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the nearly 2,000 attendees
who made Museum Night 2024 an unforgettable experience!
With the support of Baku Boulevard Administration, the iTicket
platform, Meatadore, United Coffee Beans, and ASAN Radio, Museum
Night 2024 was a dynamic and memorable event, exploring the ways we
build communication and connection.
