Abstract

In the epoch of globalization, problems of national cultures development, the preservation of
their originality and interaction with other nations stay actual in the humanities. The research of
the typological community and local specifics of art in the independent states of Central Asia
makes it possible to determine the main development trends. They are studied in the context of
national self-awareness raise, the formation of new priorities in the art of the region, the
actualization of ethnocultural identity’s issues and the restoration of links with traditional
culture. An appeal to the origins of civilizational identity is shown on the example of the region's
contemporary art.
