Red Earth, Concrete and Sacred Graves — photo essayRed Earth, Concrete and Sacred Graves — photo essayKatta Langar is a remarkable place in the Qashqadaryo region, nestled in the foothills of the Hissar Range not far from Shahrisabz. It is celebrated for one of the oldest mosques in Central Asia, its picturesque hills, and mud-brick dwellings fashioned from red clay. Like so many other places of authentic character and rich history, it teeters between the collapse of everyday life and the breathtaking beauty of the natural world.Ildar Sadykov, Maria Maksimycheva#Places#Heritage & Identity
Craftsmanship, Sanctity and Halva: Portraits of Kokand's Iconic Jami Monument — photo essayCraftsmanship, Sanctity and Halva: Portraits of Kokand's Iconic Jami Monument — photo essayOn the vivid map of Kokand, there is no shortage of remarkable monuments, which we shall yet explore. The Jami complex, with its former congregational mosque, stands as one of the city's principal attractions for visitors. And yet, curiously, it is always quiet here — remarkably, almost unexpectedly serene. This centre of religious life, built under the enlightened rule of Umar Khan, has since become a hub of artisanal craft, without having lost so much as a trace of its atmosphere of sanctity and grace. In this photo essay by Ildar Sadykov and Sergei Pogosyan — the foremost sacred site of the Fergana Valley.Ildar Sadykov, Maria Maksimycheva, Sergey Pogosyan#Places#Heritage & Identity

This photo essay by Ildar Sadykov and Sergey Pogosyan explores the source of this truly national art and the magic of mastery.Ildar Sadykov, Maria Maksimycheva, Sergey Pogosyan#Traditions#Heritage & Identity
