About this book:
“Let’s imagine that a prayer rug is both a form of media and a mode of transport: the weaving of the rug embodies patterns and symbols that communicate with a tradition; simultaneously, the rug creates space for carrying a worshipper to prayer. Pankisi Prayer Rug celebrates the materiality of the book: photographed, written, designed, and printed by Clifton Meador in six-color offset lithography and hand bound by John DeMerritt and Nora Pauwels, it evokes the tension found in the international hysteria over Islamic fundamentalism, the long history of conflict in the northern Caucausus, and the reality of life in a small district that briefly became a hot spot in the War on Terror.”
