NEW YORK, N.Y.-
 Priska C. Juschka Fine Art presents 'Transoxiana Dreams', Kazakh artist Almagul Menlibayeva’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery from March 24 through May 14, 2011. Menlibayeva films mythological narratives placed and staged in the vast landscape of her native Kazakhstan ravaged by 60 years of Soviet occupation. She leads her audience to the brutally changed region of the Aral Sea where its indigenous people live in the Aralkum, the desert of a once thriving region now entirely devoid of water due to radical Soviet irrigation politics.
