International Exhibition "Kazakh Women in Steppe Culture" Opened at the Archive
On June 12, Kaunas State Regional Archives opened the international exhibition “The Role of Woman in the Kazakh Steppe Culture“. The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Kazakh Central State Archive of Film, Photographic Documents and Sound Recordings.
The archive’s Deputy Director, Saule Satayeva, attended the opening event and introduced the exhibition, which features the photographs reflecting the everyday lives of Kazakh women from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Each photograph tells a unique story, illustrating the vital role of women in Kazakh culture and society. The photographs portray Kazakh women at various stages–from childhood to motherhood–highlighting their connection with nature and living environment, and the experience of migration.
The exhibition reflects the ongoing cooperation between the state archives of Lithuania and Kazakhstan. Deputy Director Saule Satayeva presented the current activities and focus areas of the Kazakh Central State Archive of Film, Photographic Documents and Sound Recordings. In her presentation, she also shared insights into Kazakhstan’s history, emphasizing the importance of archival documents and oral testimonies in reconstructing the nation’s past.
