How are Muslim artists in Russia and the former Soviet Republics of Central Asia creating art that pushes boundaries without inciting censorship and government reprisals? Moscow-based playwrights Olzhas Zhanaydarov and Evgeny Kazachkov discussed these questions from insider perspectives on theatre-making in Russia at Silk Road’s annual salon. The conversation was moderated by Silk Road Rising Co-Founder Jamil Khoury, whose play Mosque Alert was translated into Russian by Olzhas.
