The site for the meeting was not chosen by chance. In the coming days, this museum, after major repairs, will open its doors to its visitors. Its premises have been equipped with new lighting and exhibition equipment, they have brought a modern design concept to the whole space. At the same time maintaining the unique atmosphere of the memorial apartment of Sharif Kamal, the spirit and energy of that time. The main task of the “new” museum is to become the long-awaited House of the national Tatar book.

At the beginning of her traditional meeting with media representatives, Minister Irada Ayupova said that in five months many major events took place in the republic, initiatives on cultural activities were launched, exhibitions and festivals were successfully opened, and performances were premiered.
“The half year was intense, and I thank you that you worked with us. We appreciate your expert opinion, feedback on the quality of our work and ask you, if necessary, to criticize my activities and the work of my team. We need more feedback about our work, ”the Minister of Culture told reporters.
As the moderator of the meeting, Advisor to the Minister Ruslan Shigabetdinov, noted, the questions adopted at past meetings with journalists were taken to work and brought to the attention of cultural institutions. Within the framework of the “5K” concept, the minister recalled that during any festivals in Tatarstan, it is necessary to use the capital of visiting experts with benefit for the republic.
“We are ready to pay for projects, but experts who come to our festivals should bring something to the treasury of our capitalization. I mean meetings with students of our universities. Offer in the development of our cultural projects. Experts should invest in the competence of our young people - this is an absolutely correct vector, ”said Ayupova.
On the other hand, we need to constantly be in dialogue with both invited experts and our federal and foreign partners. For example, during the Kazan International Festival of Muslim Cinema this year, we focused on the development of the film market, co-production, co-production and promotion of films.

She recalled the opening of the new Ilgam Shakirov Concert Hall at the Kazan Expo exhibition center. According to her, the concert hall is very large and equipped in accordance with modern technical requirements, while you need to get used to the hall, because “there are always nuances and difficulties on any new venue”.
The journalists took an interest in the minister’s opinion on the situation with the appropriation of the names of famous Tatar singers Alfiya Afzalova and Ilgam Shakirov to the streets of Kazan.
