Poetry evening to mark 85th anniversary of Fariza Ongarsynova held in Astana

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the renowned Kazakh poet and national writer Fariza Ongarsynova, whose work has left an indelible mark on Kazakh literature. Her poems, novellas, and stories gained immediate popularity, not only within the country but also abroad. In honor of the prominent author’s anniversary, an evening dedicated to her life and work was held in the capital. Writers, artists, students, and schoolchildren took part in the event. The younger generation had the opportunity to explore Fariza Ongarsynova’s legacy and recite her works in their own interpretation.

«Fariza Ongarsynova’s works are filled with wisdom, reflecting feelings such as love, a profound reverence for nature, as well as unwavering patriotism and respect for her homeland. The values she conveyed merit deep study. During her lifetime, we organized significant events and had the privilege of interacting with her personally. I believe that this event held at the museum is crucial for understanding her legacy. Through her works, many essential lessons and life values can be passed on to future generations,» noted Gulzhan Zhumasheva, Professor at the Kazakh National University of Arts.
