Baku hosts art weekend with varied works and media

The Baku Art Weekend brought together artists from Azerbaijan and abroad, showing works that ranged from traditional Karabakh carpets to experimental paintings. Some artists used unconventional tools, such as syringes in place of brushes. Farid Rasulov, born in Shusha, reworked Karabakh carpets into contemporary pieces titled Karabakh Carpets 2.0. The event also included painting, sculpture, photography, digital art and film, with nature themes featuring the Caucasus "Wild Five" animals.
