Here is the third issue of the zine "Aralash" (from Kyrgyz language means mixture), which is my personal project. In this issue I have collected creative works of authors from Kyrgyzstan, who through different forms of art reflect the new reality caused by the pandemic. You can read the poems or stories, created photographs, illustrations and other works about coronavirus collected together through the following link: https://issuu.com/syinat_zholdosheva/docs/aralash_3

Important to note that the zine was exhibited in the Bishkek First-April Contemporary Art exhibition 2021 https://aprilart.org/* 

I would like to thank all the participants, especially the editorial team of the Bishkek School of Contemporary Art for their support in preparing this work. 

The illustration on the cover page, layout and the overall publication was prepared by me.  The content was edited by Alima Tokmergenova and Bermet Borubaeva. The zine is in Russian and Kyrgyz languages.

*It is an annual international competition taking place on April 1 in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. It was first held in 2003. Most of the participants are from Central Asia, as well as from Russia, other CIS countries and Europe. The theme, curatorial team, jury, etc. are determined anew each year.
