Gluklya | The Shadow of Care

AKINCI is proud to present The Shadow of Care, a solo exhibition by Gluklya, unfolding from her long-term research in the Kyrgyz Republic since 2021. The exhibition examines care not as an unquestioned moral good, but as a contradictory force — one capable of protection, discipline, suffocation, and control. Gluklya’s engagement with the notion of care emerged through her encounters with women working in the textile and fashion industry in Bishkek, a major center for garment production for export, primarily to the Russian market. Listening to the stories of seamstresses, she began to trace how care operates within systems of production: as concern, dependency, obligation, and exhaustion.
