Event Details

The Cult Baku team invites you on an exciting journey to the heart of Azerbaijani art — the workshops of Ganja’s unique masters!

We will discover the incredible work of Nagi Nagiev and Mubariz Akperov, whose creations transport us into the world of ancient traditions and the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan.

Nagi Nagiev brings miniature images to life in ceramics, inspired by classic poems such as Seven Beauties and Leyli and Majnun. Every stroke in his work is imbued with a love for history and the national culture he has been dedicated to for decades.

Mubariz Akperov is a master of metal art, whose daggers, swords, and sabers not only preserve cultural roots but also receive recognition far beyond Azerbaijan. His workshop is alive with swords and daggers, many of which refer to the rich history and traditions of the medieval era.

This journey is for those ready to touch history and witness art brought to life by the hands of great masters. Join us and become part of this unforgettable experience filled with inspiration and amazing discoveries!
