On December 17, a documentary series titled "Nomadic Craft" will be launched in Bishkek, dedicated to the traditional crafts of the Kyrgyz people. This information was announced by the Ministry of Culture of Kyrgyzstan.
The project was developed by the public fund "Tamchy Tasma" under the direction of director Gulnur Kanat.
