This year, the desktop calendar publishing project was implemented by the UNESCO Office in Uzbekistan jointly with LEGATE Law Firm and GRANT THORNTON Company.
The choice of theme for this year’s edition was made not in favor of a particular kind of traditional arts, but rather of a symbol, a motif that is constantly reoccurring in the artistic creations of different ages, at different geographic locations and executed in many different ways and techniques of Uzbekistan’s traditional crafts. It is the motif of the sun, the main source of life on Earth. Sun is energy, life and light; it is the perfect shape of a circle, an ideal of the wholeness and integrity for which every human being strives.
May the sun that has risen on the pages of our calendar guide your way through the year 2019. With the best wishes for the New Year 2019!
