Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture

Editorial web presence for a leading contemporary-culture institution in Almaty.

Tselinny is a center of contemporary culture in Almaty and a regional institution. It supports the local intellectual and artistic community and builds dialogue across Kazakhstan and Central Asia, bringing artists, researchers, and scholars into open reflection and critical discussion.

We built its public platform: a trilingual editorial site (English, Russian, Kazakh) covering programming, learning, past events, and documentation. We implemented a large CMS collection so the team publishes events, programs, and archives on its own, and shaped the design conceptually to reflect the center's aesthetic and feel. From interface architecture to final design, every decision served one goal — a digital space as alive and contemporary as the center itself.

  • A large CMS collection the team runs itself: events, programs, and archives published without a developer.
  • Trilingual across the whole site — English, Russian, and Kazakh.
  • A design shaped conceptually around the center's aesthetic, not a template.
  • Structure that holds a growing editorial archive without visual clutter.
