00:00Seghia is the Festival of Electronic Music, Art and Science,
00:03which is located in the former shore of Aral Sea in the city of Muinag.
00:08And it expresses the creativity and shows the unity between the creators,
00:13local citizens and the different partners and our community.
00:23Once the fourth largest inland sea in the world,
00:27Uzbekistan's diminishing Aral Sea is a hauntingly beautiful symbol
00:31of ecological decline and unexpected rebirth.
00:35Every summer, this Dahir Festival transforms the Aral's dry expanse
00:41into a pulsating celebration of sound, art and survival.
00:47The festival is held in Karakal, Pakistan, in the former fishing village of Muinag,
00:51now dubbed the Ship Graveyard,
00:53since its waters were diverted for crop irrigation during Soviet rule.
00:57This annual three-day electronic music extravaganza has been running since 2018.
01:04We are expecting more than 2,500 people,
01:09tourists and guests from around Uzbekistan, Central Asian countries,
01:14Europe, Asia, United States,
01:18so from around the world, everyone is coming to Seghia this week.
01:22Turning this parched seabed into a gathering place
01:25with a lineup of local and international performers,
01:28the event raises environmental awareness
01:31while boosting the local economy through youth tourism.
01:34Those who want to learn more about the loss of the Aral Sea
01:57can visit the Ecological Museum of Muinag.
02:00Irrigation started in the 50s after the World War II,
02:04so Uzbekistan was the main cotton-producing republic in the USSR,
02:10and the virgin lands were used for cotton fields, cotton and rice,
02:16and all the water went to be distributed.
02:21So not all the water came to Aral Sea.
02:26Looking at these pictures shot from space,
02:29you can really appreciate the magnitude of the loss of water.
02:34Travellers to Muinag typically arrive via Karakar, Pakistan's capital,
02:43Nukas, which is famous for more than just being a gateway to the vanishing Aral Sea.
02:48Nukas is home to the Savitsky Art Museum.
02:52Inside, you'll find one of the most extraordinary collections of Soviet-era art,
02:57saved and gathered by the collector Igor Savitsky.
03:01Experimental styles were deemed anti-Soviet and much of the art was destroyed,
03:07but Savitsky made it his mission to save as much of it as he could.
03:11If you are travelling in Uzbekistan or in Central Asia,
03:15you should definitely come to this museum, to the Louvre in the desert.
03:21Savitsky, himself a Russian painter as well as an archaeologist and ethnographer,
03:26fell in love with Karakar, Pakistan on his travels.
03:28Besides collecting modernist works,
03:31he gathered and painstakingly restored Karakar, Pakistan heritage items,
03:35many of which are displayed in the museum today.
03:41Another institute celebrating Karakar, Pakistan culture
03:45and two of its most famous ambassadors
03:47is the museum of Ahmet and Ayam Khan Shamratov.
03:51Ahmet was a statesman and a writer,
03:53and his wife, Ayam Khan, was a star of the stage
03:56and a traditional Karakar, Pakistan musician,
03:59known as a Bakshi,
04:01who has inspired a new generation of Bakshi performers.
04:04This photography creator is a human race,
04:07and the Jewish people and the holy history of our own life.
04:17It's the story of the Kassi region,
04:20which is a human race,
