Exhibition ,,Old and New Tusheti"

Lili Murtazashvili’s personal exhibition “Old and New Tusheti” was opened  at the Gallery of the State Folklore Centre.
Exhibited will be carpets; various objects from Tushetian mode of life; churn; cast-iron saucepans; tungi (long necked copper water vessels); khoncha (wooden trays); wine vessels; shepherds tools, etc.

Lili Murtazashvili and her group continue the tradition of manual processing of wool and
dying it with natural medicinal plants. Project for preservation and revival of
Tushetian handiworks won a small grant; the project united Lili Murtazashvili and
seven other women with common interest. They continued their work even after
completing the project and today they teach Tushetian handiwork to school children free
of charge. The group aims to popularize Tushetian handiwork, wool and sheep species.
The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of the National Hero of Georgia Giorgi
Antsukhelidze – brutally killed in Tskhinvali.
