From November 2 to 17, 2012 the Heydar Aliyev Foundation of Azerbaijan will be presenting

in Germany. With 94 works by 21 artists from three generations, the exhibition in Berlin offers
unique insights into the current state of this country’s art scene.
FLY TO BAKU presents diverse positions situated between the Islamic visual tradition and
modern influences. All contemporary art media, including painting, sculpture, installation,
video, performance and photography, can be seen here. Many of the numerous works created
specifically for FLY TO BAKU reflect both Azerbaijan’s thousand-year history and the
fundamental changes faced by the former Soviet republic since its independence in 1991.
The Heydar Aliyev Foundation Azerbaijan’s aim is to support and promote Azerbaijani culture
and to give humanitarian aid in Azerbaijan and abroad. Through this project, which has

exchange with European art scenes and created an international platform for Azerbaijani
artists.
