In 2021, I created a first series of comics about the Silk Roads and the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Central Asia for UNESCO's Almaty office.
The task was to share knowledge and information through short stories designed for Instagram and social media. This required a square page format, simple color palette, easily readable text, and frames that could be rearranged for a classic A4 page format. The goal was also to make the stories engaging for both local (Central Asian) and international audiences, available in both English and Russian.
In 2024 UNESCO asked me to write additional comic stories about the Zarafshan-Karakum corridor.
