Let’s create a coloring page from “Paper Walks Around Almaty” with Madina Zholdybekova! 

Illustrator and artist Madina Zholdybekova (@madikendraws) prepared a series of creative workshops titled “Paper Walks Around Almaty”, featuring some of the city’s most recognizable landmarks. We believe it’s a wonderful opportunity to express your feelings for the “apple city” through creativity and spend meaningful time with children. You’ll need a printer, A4 paper, scissors, glue, and colored pencils.

Madina Zholdybekova works in mixed media. In her illustrations, she reflects on motherhood, kelinship (the role of a daughter-in-law), and other aspects of womanhood in Kazakhstan. She explores her relationship with the state and documents everyday life through sketching. She has collaborated with Rocket Firm Digital Agency, the science magazine OYLA, Megaplan, and the OSCE’s Central Asian Youth Network.
