Omsk, Russia. 2016

The work was done in Omsk on Chokan Valikhanov Street. Special for "Stenograffia" street-art and graffiti festival.

During the preparation of the project, I was curious who this person was. In the process of studying the subjects, I learned that Valikhanov was a historian, ethnographer, scientist and one of the most significant of his works was the translation of the legendary epic of the Kirghiz people - the epic about the hero Manas.
So I had an idea
