while i'm here + discussing buryatia/buryat language and representation/art made by indigenous people about their own people i have a few buryat contemporary artists i'm gonna jump on the occasion to show you. some of these have been brought up by one of my exchange students classmates back in art school so it's been a little while, others i've come across doing my little "digging around for tubers" as one would call it.
Natalia Papaeva, visual/performance artist
(website above, instagram)
my fave piece of hers was "The process of reading" (here, a buryat song)
but i also really liked Yokhor (performance)
Aryuna Bulutova (3D/visual artist)
a... lot of her stuff is NFTs now, but she explores shamanic legacy(ies) and buddhist practices, and i'd be lyin if these stills from her video installation Dying (from this year 2023) were not really inspiring
Mila Balzhieva (artist + graphic designer)
kinda sad because i can't find most of her works online, but you can see some of her graphic design [here]. i really, really like her works with the Vaghintara font.
Zorikto Dorzhiev
more traditional that the previously cited, i particularly like his painting works, with their ethereal, kinda "collage" and textured quality to them
(Autumn, 2012)
Dashi Namdakov
sculptor!! I am obsessed with this piece he made for the Minotaur ballet, because. well.
those were those on my list, i'm sure there are plentyyyyyyy more. i focused on Buryat because that's what the discussion was about, but i know that there is a whole scene out of there of siberian & central asian indigenous artists, and the younger generations (around my age) are using the internet more and more to share their creation...!

Le misteriose bambole delle antiche leggende di Buryatian Le bambole rappresentano le figure di antiche leggende del popolo Buryatian in Siberia, una popolazione buddista. Tutte sono stati create dalla famiglia del famoso scultore Dashi Namdakov, basandosi sui suoi schizzi. I genitori e sette dei suoi fratelli e sorelle lavorano nel laboratorio di famiglia a Ulan-Ude, al secondo piano della casa dei genitori. La sorella maggiore di Dashi, Dorzhima Namdakova, ha dichiarato: "Tutta la nostra famiglia lavora alle bambole. Dashi disegna per noi gli schizzi, un semplice schizzo a matita in bianco e nero, e il resto dipende da noi, quali colori scegliere. "Il nostro fratello maggiore crea cornici e basi, io e mia sorella cuciamo costumi, facciamo trucchi e parrucche. I nostri genitori aiutano sempre. Almeno 7 persone hanno lavorato su ogni bambola ". Non ci sono due bambole uguali: "In generale si tratta di una scultura, ma a differenza, ad esempio, delle sculture in bronzo, che faccio, qui ho usato un milione di tecniche diverse. Tutto è fatto a mano, ogni modello è unico." The Siberian Times

🐺Lupa🐺 She-Wolf card from a Italian Minchiate deck made in Florence around 1720 and kept in @labnf. The card shows two infants feading of the female beast, a reference to the myth of Remus and Romulus and the founding of Rome. The twins were born from a Vestal, niece of King Amelius who saw them as a threat and arranged to have them abandoned. Left by themselves, the toddlers were granted divine help through Tibernus and manage to survive. In the most iconic passage of this story, they found themselves in a cave, breastfeed by a she-wolf. The territory of their youth will later become the city of Rome and this image, the emblem of the city. I love this card and somehow associated it with our Tarot empress, as a universal nurturing figure. It also reminded me of this incredible sculpture called "She Gardian", I saw a misty day in London's Hyde Park. Made by Dashi Namdakov, the mythical creature is shown in an intimidating posture as to gard and protect her youth. #tarot #tarotcards #tarotreading #tarotreadersofinstagram #antique #art #card #oracle #divination #cartomancy #cartomancer #museum #deathandresurrectionasmuse⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tarotjournaling #bulletjournal #bujo #Journalingprompt #theartoftarotjournaling #journaling #creativejournaling #laetitiacartomancy #laetitia https://www.instagram.com/p/CGCyRMuHniA/?igshid=1ok37mxvkyv93
