Encounter with Nicolas Pernot Located in the heart of Central Asia, a region that was a major crossroads of the Silk Road, Uzbekistan reveals its history, traditions, and heritage through encounters with artisans perpetuating age-old skills. Discover its immense deserts and fertile oases where merchants, scholars, and conquerors have crossed paths for centuries. The city of Samarkand remains the shining symbol of the country. Its blue domes and grand squares bear witness to a time when trade circulated science, art, and ideas. Immerse yourself in a country shaped by movement and commercial exchange, and be charmed by its mythical sites and contemporary energy. From observatories to madrasahs (schools), knowledge was once as precious as silk. On the plains, horsemen still charge through the dust, heirs to a spectacular tradition. Embark on a vibrant journey along a mythical route! Biography of Nicolas Pernot Nicolas Pernot is a photographer, documentary filmmaker, and lecturer. For over 10 years, he has traveled through Central Asia and the Caucasus, where he spends extended periods. After living for several years in Tajikistan and on the shores of Lake Baikal, he settled in Georgia in 2020. His experiences offer a close look at societies from the former Soviet world, their cultural heritage, and their contemporary balance. He favors proximity, nuance, and a sensitive approach to the territories. Each project results in a documentary film and a photographic book presented during his tours in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Canada as part of The Great Explorers. Previously, he presented Georgia and, more recently, Armenia to the Quebec public.
