The exhibition "I Am Water" has been presented at the Zaman Art Gallery as part of the "Fly to Baku. Art Weekend. Sense the Future NOW" Arts Festival, organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the IDEA Public Union in partnership with the Azerbaijan Culture Ministry, Azernews reports.

The exhibition showcased the works of over 20 artists, including Tahir Shikhaliyev, Aylin Mammadli, Diana Aliyeva, Mahammad Orujov, Eldar Babazade, Sayali Mammadova, Orkhan Garayev, Inna Kostina, Afaq Akbarova, Adil Shikhaliyev, Mir Azer Abdullayev, Gunel Ravilova, Aynura Mahmudova, Gulnara Khalilova, Nigar Familsoy, Vugar Ali, Fazila Rajabova, Javid Mammadov, Soltan Soltanli, Vusala Agharaziyeva, Rafail Aliyev, Sarkhan Gadzhiev, Fidan Zaman, and Novruz Balabeyov.

The exhibition's concept seeks to evoke not just an aesthetic appreciation of water, but also a deeper connection to its essence, reminding viewers that within each individual flows a personal river, carrying memories, emotions, light, and hope.

Through poetic reflections, the exhibition captures the essence of water—its fluidity, power, and mystery. It portrays water as both a source and a mirror, symbolizing life and serving as an eternal witness to human emotions and transformation.

The exhibition "I Am Water" will be open for viewing at the Zaman Art Gallery until November 16.

From October 31 to November 2, Baku hosts the "Fly to Baku. Art Weekend. Sense the Future NOW" Arts Festival, which combines art, culture, and ecology.

Co-organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the IDEA Public Union in cooperation with the Azerbaijan Culture Ministry, the initiative was conceived and led by Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

This immersive project aims to transform Baku into a dynamic space of contemporary creativity, dialogue, and exploration.

The festival places particular emphasis on the ecological state of the world’s oceans and seas, with these themes expressed through the medium of art.

The central theme of the festival—water—represents life, renewal, and sustainable development.

Chosen for its symbolism of resilience, regeneration, and shared history, water serves as the focal point of Art Weekend, encouraging meaningful dialogue between Azerbaijan and the international art community.
