After a brief visit to Kazakhstan's newly named capital city NurSultan, I caught up with the name on everyone's lips when you mention the burgeoning contemporary art scene, Dina Baitassova.
Since returning to Kazakhstan three years ago after 11 years in Paris, Baitassova has focused on supporting the regional art scene.
She set up TSE Art Destination —an art gallery, educational centre and "experimental laboratory" in the capital and tells me what to expect in the name of art.
