Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture

Tselinny Center for Contemporary Culture is a regional institution that engages with all art forms, aiming to empower the local general public and support intellectual and artistic communities to build a cultural dialogue within Kazakhstani horizons and to imagine new perspectives for Central Asia. 

Founded in 2018 by Kazakh entrepreneur and philanthropist Kairat Boranbayev as the country’s first private cultural institution. The center has been operating since 2018 and opened in 2025 to its permanent venue at a former cinema 1964. Reconstruction was made under the direction of the architect and artist Asif Khan.
