In the Chinese province of Xinjiang, this festive table adheres to all the traditions of Kazakh hospitality. Indeed, the host belongs to the region’s Kazakh minority. Despite Chinese repression aimed at erasing the identities of the province’s ethnic minorities, the photographer Turar Kazangapov, himself a Kazakh, is “convinced that Kazakh customs and traditions are still preserved in this place”.
