Methods of Using the Art of Bakhshi in Cultural Events

The present article studies the historical roots, developmental stages and socio-cultural significance of the art of bakhshi in Uzbekistan. Particular focus is placed on the methodological underpinnings of incorporating bakhshi performance into present-day cultural events, such as national holidays, weddings, festivals and educational initiatives. The results of the study emphasize the role of epic traditions, in particular the doston Alpomish, to form moral values, patriotism and national identity among the younger generation. Sevo is held to be alive by the article, which also estimates the value of International Bakhshi Art Festival organized in Termez and state cultural policy initiatives initiated under Shavkat Mirziyoyev era for continuity and improvement of oral folk mastery. Drawing from historical-comparative, ethnographic, and pedagogical methods, the research establishes that using bakhshi art systematically in cultural events is an influential instrument for preserving national spirituality and intangible cultural heritage within globalisation.
