Almagul Menlibayeva

Almagul Menlibayeva (b. 1969, Almaty, Kazakhstan) is a multimedia artist currently oscillating between creative ventures in Germany and Kazakhstan. She specializes in site-specific, multi-channel-video installations; immersive digital media; photography; and contemporary textile art integrations that innovatively overlay tapestry onto video installations, drawing inspiration from enduring mythologies of geopolitics to craft a storytelling medium that resonates across time. Expanding artistic horizons using AI technology, Menlibayeva’s oeuvre critically examines Soviet modernity and post-socialist Central Asian transformations, and offers decolonial perspectives on gender, environmental issues, and Eurasian mythologies.
