Reconstructing Erased Histories with AI - A New Canvas for Cultural Memory

In the world of contemporary art, the tools artists use are constantly evolving, but the intention behind the art often remains timeless: to tell stories, question power and preserve culture. One of the most powerful examples of this is the work of Kazakh artist Almagul Menlibayeva, whose recent installation uses artificial intelligence to breathe life into memories censored by the Soviet regime .

Her piece, “Posthuman Matter: The Map of Nomadizing Reimaginings #3” , combines traditional Central Asian weaving with AI-generated video and sound to tell a story that was once erased. Through tools like Stable Diffusion and Runway, she interprets oral testimonies and ancestral experiences into vivid digital tapestries. What makes this particularly compelling is how it reclaims not only forgotten voices but also the means of storytelling itself - merging ancient techniques with modern technology.

This blend of heritage and innovation resonates deeply with what we stand for at LettsArt.

LettsArt is built on the belief that artists deserve to control how their work is shown, who sees it, and how it's remembered. In many ways, Menlibayeva’s work is a metaphor for what LettsArt empowers artists to do: to own their narrative in a space that is not dictated by external algorithms or curatorial bias. On our platform, artists and gallerists create digital galleries that are true to their vision - free from middlemen and manipulation.

As more artists turn to AI to explore identity, memory, and power, we see a new kind of storytelling emerging - one where the artist is both creator and curator. LettsArt provides the infrastructure for that autonomy.

Whether you’re crafting personal histories, challenging political silence, or simply experimenting with the next wave of digital art, LettsArt is the home for your creative freedom. It’s a gallery that belongs to you because your art should speak in your voice, not someone else’s.
