Mosque in Purtio. The Caucasian nation might be predominantly Christian Orthodox, but it also harbours a valuable, often forgotten, Muslim heritage. The architecture and photography project “Indigenous Outsiders” carried by Suzanne Harris-Brandts, Angela Wheeler and Vladimer Shioshvili aims to let people discover the old wooden mosques of the Adjara province and raise awareness about their preservation. Harris-Brandts: There are similar motifs across some of them, but there is a large degree of variance in terms of colour palettes and textures. The buildings themselves are all very similar; they are rectangular with a Qibla wall facing Mecca and a second floor mezzanine overlooking the prayer hall. There are three primary means of interior decoration. One is just paintings on the walls. There is a large variety in this regard; some carry local motifs from agriculture, such as corn or flowers; others are decorated with swords and Islamic references. Second, there is applied wood detailing, where small cutout pieces are nailed or glued as decorations and then painted in different colours. This is a way of making ornaments without having a skilled carver at hand. Third, and this is the most striking kind of decoration, is the actual wood carving, which usually was done by travelling Laz craftsmen. As we understand it, the architectural designs themselves were done locally and then, if the communities had the resources, Laz masters, when they travelled through the area, would ornament the interiors with a range of intricate carvings.

Shioshvili: Especially the mosques further inland tend to be more actively used, because there are more Muslim communities living there and less conversion to Christianity. But the villages there are struggling in the sense that there are not many people left; young people especially are moving closer to Batumi to find work more easily. |Hotelier Valeri Chekheria explains how his team transformed the headquarters of a Soviet printing press in Tbilisi into the Stamba Hotel in this movie Dezeen produced for the AHEAD hospitality awards.

Dezeen Awards Harris-Brandts: Very few mosques are abandoned in Adjara, because most are maintained by their communities, using the humble means available to them. There are a few abandoned structures; some that accidentally suffered fires during Soviet times when they would often be used to store hay and fertilizers, and others that have now been replaced with larger, nearby mosque facilities. In the case of the latter, the old mosques are often converted into madrasas or other community facilities and therefore remain in use. There has been some support by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency of Adjara for renovating them, and to provide some expertise and funding. After decades of state sanctioned anti-religious communist policies, and a post-Soviet revival of the Orthodox faith in Adjara, Muslims are now a minority in the province. Near the coast, in urban areas like Georgia’s second-largest city Batumi, few traces remain of the Ottoman past. Most Muslim communities live inland where many small Islamic architectural gems are hidden. In villages in this mountainous and green area, many wooden mosques built during the 19 th century are still standing. While they might look like normal houses from outside, their interiors are finely decorated and painted.

We think that in some cases the painting is more recent. We’ve also seen a couple where there’s absolutely no painting. We don’t know exactly how old the paintings are since the walls could have been repainted numerous times. Details of the minbar in Gegelidzeebi mosque. Minbar in Zundaga mosque.
