INTRODUCTION
Art is one of the areas that has a special place in the
development of the tourism direction of the country. It
has an important role in the development of both
culture and economy due to the development of
artistry. In today's globalization period, arts and crafts,
which are considered an integral part of our spiritual
life, the revival of the products made by our artists, and
the growing respect for this field, will not fail to please
everyone. Creativity is the most important wealth of
any nation, and it is considered a data that shows
spiritual and material wealth. Today, a number of
measures are being implemented in order to promote
and support arts and crafts. On October 24-25, 1995,

Uzbekistan was held in Tashkent in cooperation with

The resolution of the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan dated March 31, 1997 "On the means of
supporting and encouraging the development of folk
arts and handicrafts"[1] was of great importance in the
revival and development of the arts in Uzbekistan, as
well as in the restoration of some desired directions.
Artifacts were approved by the Chamber of Industry
and Production, and then the Chamber of Commerce.
They were united in a special group "Art" of the
Republic.
On June 27, 1997, the Council of Ministers of the
Republic of Karakalpakstan adopted a special
resolution on the implementation of the presidential
decree. According to this decision, the Karakalpakstan
Republican branch of the "Art" joint venture was
completed. On December 31, 1997, according to the
Presidential decree No. 1741, it was transferred from
the authority of the city of Nokis to the system and
acquired the right of legal entity. Firstly, in the building
of the "Maman" joint-stock company an office was
built, the former felt printing plant. Currently, the
"Doslyk" building on A. Shamuratova Street in Nukus is
under construction. The Karakalpakstan Republican
branch of the "Art" joint venture became a free
enterprise People who have reached the age of 17, who
are engaged in folk arts, masters of arts and crafts,
well-known craftsmen among our people, are going to
work voluntarily. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, 43
types of products are produced by crafts, while in
Karakalpakstan works are carried out on 28 types of
crafts. 52% of artifacts are women and the rest 48% are
men. Among them are “ganesh” carving, hand
-woven
carpet weaving, hand-woven embroidery, stone
carving, copper carving, metal products, tin products,
national footwear production of clothes, national
clothes, national headdresses, wood carving, bone
carving, embroidery, making musical instruments,
porcelain, earthenware and quality products, jewelry,
toys, jewelry, jewelry made of precious metal in the
national way, souvenirs. Many people are busy with
making arts. Musical instrument makers, carpet
weavers, carpet weavers, and black house (Qara u’y –
national-historical house of Karakalpak people) makers
in the Karakalpakstan region are different from the arts
of other regions. For example, ala moynak duutar,
girzhek, kobyz (musical instruments) differ from other
peoples in their production techniques, form, and
style.
As we know from history, there were a lot of arts in
Shimbay, Qon’irat and Xojeliregions. Even their art was
in the neighborhoods named after them[3.147]. Even
today, in our villages, we use place names related to
art. Although their names have been changed due to
the politics of the era, village names related to art are
still preserved in archive data.
Along with our mother tongue, customs and traditions,
the importance of our artistry is great in the upbringing
of young children, who are the pillars of our future, and

in molding feelings of loyalty to the nation. The
intelligence, skill, and nationalism of our ancestors are
reflected in each artistic product.
For that reason, during the Soviet era, the artistic
products and equipment of our ancestors were in
places where they could not exist. For example, our
aunt Zhumataeva Klara from Tahtakopir remembers
what her mother said: "If we felt that an unknown
person was touching us while we were spinning yarn,
we would throw the yarn we were spinning into the
burning hearth" [4]. However, despite that, we can see
the artistic creations of our people in our museums.
Exhibitors there are trying to impress visitors from
foreign countries. In the museums, we have samples of
the handicrafts made by our master flower masters the
number of our artists who have developed their art is
increasing day by day. According to the decision of the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated
December 31, 2021, "On the system of support and
improvement measures for the development of artistic
business" PK-77, concessions have been granted to
artistic subjects. In this resolution, in the area of
"Jalaliddin Manguberdi Garden" in Yellikkala district of
the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the "City of Crafts"
dedicated to the production of carpets, felt weaving,
leather goods, woodcarving and woodcarving
products was developed, it was included in the tourist
route, and the traditional Karakalpak national "blue
dress" festival was learned and re-enacted. Also, in
order to create the necessary conditions for the arts to
provide services in this direction, the problems of
launching the service "Arts of Art" in Xojeli region were
noted [5]. The art of embroidery is also one of the
popular fields. Because nowadays, people from abroad
are interested in hand-woven products. In the same
direction, with the aim of passing down our national
embroidery from our ancestors, many young women
are engaged in embroidery. One of the arts that
restored the peasantry, after our country adopted its
impartiality, it led to the restoration of our nationality
and the increase of our interest in it, at the same time,
the customs of our people took on a new color, and our
national traditions were revived. Among them, our
people's golden heritage, passed down from age to
age, from generation to generation, from father to
son, created in the Aral region, has been newly revived.
I created a dream where I gathered the master girls
together to recreate the golden heritage of the
peoples who made it along the island, put it in a new
color for today, put different patterns on the
embroidery pages that do not repeat each other. This
is the Republic of Karakalpakstan, which is called the
"golden mire of the island" and opened its doors on
Ayimkhan Shamuratova street in the city of Nokis The
management of dream girls is a social integration of
individual moments. Gulnara Embergenova, a specialist
in her field, is in charge of this public association. A
total of 60 people work in this company during joint
production. 40 people are working in Moynak, 20

people are working in Nukus. The products of the co-
operative workers are small handbags, eyeglass cases,
bags for dream girls, necklaces, shirts, business cards,
scarves and other consumer goods, carved using
unique patterns of the Karakalpak people, and
delivered to their users girls from Moynak embroider
patterns on the goods, while Nukus girls embroider
ready-made products from them.
Due to the strong interest of foreign guests in such
ready-made products, this joint has not stopped its
service even today. Joint head Gulnara Embergenova
was born on November 14, 1961 in the city of Nukus.
Between 1969 and 1977, he graduated from the
secondary school named after Berdak in Nukus. In
1986, he graduated from the Ostrovsky Institute of
Theater Arts in Tashkent, and later worked as a teacher
of art poetry at the Japaq Shamuratov Academy of Arts
in Nukus.
In the context of the new beginnings of the era of
impartiality, Gulnara Embergenova has been working
as the head of the public association of independent
private meetings of girls of the Republic of
Karakalpakstan since June 9, 1998. This joint set a
number of tasks:
Revival of Karakalpak national traditions and national
values and types of non-patterned embroidery and its
development. In the Aral region, in the environmental
crisis, they worked out solutions to improve the living
conditions of mothers and children. In the culture, art,
and education of the Karakalpak people, and at the
same time, the progress of implementation of the
exercises on the environmental education, art,
hygienic education among the children will be
reflected in the joint works.
The Counterpart Consortium of the Global Society, the
Open Society Institute of Uzbekistan, the Soros
Foundation, ORP and other public institutions
cooperated with me in this cooperation. With the help
of UNESCO, I have seen with my own eyes how the
artistic development in India and New York has
increased.
The association "Golden Heritage of the Island" is
contributing to the presentation of the beautiful
heritage of the Karakalpak people at exhibitions and
festivals with many products made by flower girls.
Nowadays, this joint is engaged in sewing national
clothes. In particular, the actress sews stage clothes
and supplies our boys with national clothes. National
clothes with national motifs are being sewn for the
girls and boys of ensembles such as Aikulash, Hurliman,
and Tumaris. Today, the girls trained by Gulnara
Embergenova have their own apprentices and they are
going to carry out their work in front of them in the
name of Master's apprentice.
In her speech, Gulnara Embergenova notes that they
realized that they have the opportunity to earn money

from their handicrafts and provide for their families.
And he said that the things that make each people
different from other people are the products made by
the arts. [6] The Karakalpak people are distinguished
from other peoples by the "blue dress" made by artistic
girls. The blue shirt is the Karakalpak national dress,
and in its preparation we used products grown in our
country. The blue dress is the most precious and
valuable of the wedding dresses, and there was not a
girl who did not forget to wear it.
The patterns of this dress were elaborate and had a
great meaning. The blue color itself is the color of the
sky and gives the basic meaning of life, and the trunk
of a large tree with branches stretched in all directions
shows that it is the opposite of mother and life [7].
Weaving was taught by mothers to their daughters and
daughters-in-law. Every Karakalpak girl, before getting
married, has been weaving whatever she needs for her
family for years. Using goat and sheep wool, he
developed his skills along with creating household
goods. It is prepared as dyes from natural substances
for dyeing threads in various colors. Carrot, onion, and
pomegranate peels were used to obtain colors. The
impact on our cultural life: thanks to our artistry passed
down from father to son, our traditional customs and
precious historical heritage are preserved from
generation to generation. If we take this as an example
of embroidery, Karakalpak girls tried to give them
artistic beauty by embroidering their clothes. The ranks
of our dream girls who continue this every day are
growing day by day. One of them is Ramutullaeva
Gumisay Bazarbaevna. Despite being young, the year
2009 perfected the company "Milliy kiyimler tigiw
xizmeti", she uses his own handiwork to put the
Karakalpak patterns on bags, wallets, national capes,
beshpents (traditional type of cloth), and collars. One
of the Karakalpak people managed to recreate the
"shanash". Milliy re-ticked on the "nogay jaga"
calculated from the Karakalpak shores. They use their
programs inspired by our national heritage in
museums. According to Gumisay, one coin in a wallet
can contain a lot of information. For example: the
pattern on the wallet is used to determine how many
girls and boys there are in this family, and how many
girls have reached puberty. He explained that if the
patterns are not completely done, there are girls in this
family who have not yet reached the age of a man.
There are patterns on men's clothes and patterns on
dream clothes. "Toye Taban" pattern is used only on
men's clothes, "Kurbaqa" (a frog) pattern is used only
on girls' clothes. Gumisay Rametullaeva is currently
teaching her art to unemployed women at home, to
people who have a passion for "Youth" [8].
We can see the attention paid to the development of
the national art scene in our country in the exhibitions
that have been rapidly developed in our country and
abroad, and in the creation of conditions for the active
participation of our artists in them.

Famous jeweler Tazhimuratov Adil took part in the
festival in Bashkirstan with his jewelry, Adilshaeva
Dilnoza took part in the Karakalpak national costume
"blue dress" and saukele, Indira Mambetniyazova,
Adilshaeva Dilnoza participated in the world festival
"Stil mod" in Dubai, Adilshaeva Dilnoza participated in
Karakalpak national clothes under the brand
"Sawkele", Indira Mambetniyazova participated in the
topic "Aral Sea". The proof of this is the development
of artistic events in the regions where the tourists visit
more of the artistic products.
Departments of the Republic of Karakalpakstan were
working in Tortkul, Qon’irat, Xojeli, Yellikkala,
Amiwdarya regions under the association "Art". In
Shimbay, there was a workshop called "Black House",
in Moynak "Otaw" art workshop, in Moynaq and
Bozataw arts alliance, in Xojeli "Arts" town, in
Shomanay "Ustaz-shakirt" school. Nawbetova Altinay
is the head of the “Ustaz shakirt” school. Art
cooperation The Academy of Fine Arts, museums,
cultural events, famous masters work together with
them. [2]
Promotion of our material and cultural heritage
through the promotion of tourism, allows for the
development of our artistry. This is evidenced by the
development of artistic products in areas where
tourists visit more. Due to increasing the interest of
tourists to our country, the flow of investment will
expand, and the dances of our national culture will be
learned more widely. In paragraph 12 of the resolution
of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated
December 31, 2021, "On the system of support and
improvement measures for the development of artistic
business", the Ministry of Tourism and Sports
The Chamber of Commerce and the "Art" community
have established the following entertainments for the
aim of including the "Artistic Occasions" and "Ustaz
Shakirt" schools in the tourist routes.
The place of artistry in the development of tourism in
Karakalpakstan is enormous. We should keep really
safe the artistic heritage that have been passed down
from father to son and be able to use it productively.
One of our main goals should be to develop our artistry
and, at the same time, increase the interest of foreign
tourists.
