STIRworld: Kulapat Yantrasast explores Uzbek yurt, bread and water at Milan Design Week 2026
STIRworld goes inside When Apricots Blossom — Kulapat Yantrasast’s curated takeover of Palazzo Citterio for the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation’s Milan Design Week 2026 debut. The interview traces the exhibition’s three through-lines: the deconstructed yurt as a Garden Pavilion, the bread tray as a vehicle for collaboration with Uzbek artisans, and the disappearing waters of the Aral Sea as the spine of the show’s ecological argument. For Kulapat, design and craft are positioned as instruments of landscape regeneration in the face of climate crisis.
