In her works, she adds elements of kurak, combining them with traditional felt kalpaks. Inside some of the pieces, one can find small inscriptions or wishes for their future owners.
Alamanova is convinced that the kalpak should be not only a symbol of the holiday but also an integral part of everyday life. She hopes that her art kalpaks will attract the attention of young people and those in creative professions, making this headwear more popular.
“I would like the kalpak to be worn not only on festive days or during the Day of Ak Kalpak. It is truly a beautiful and comfortable headwear. It would be wonderful if it were worn more often in everyday life — by young people, artists, and creative individuals,” she shares her thoughts.
