Overview

As the only road leading to the Caucasus mountain region of Tusheti, Georgia, closes for seven months of winter, a handful of holdouts remain. Experiencing time outside the flow of state regulation and consumer exchange, this smattering of people form a tight, interdependent group, navigating intergenerational friction, the remnants of the Soviet Union and uncertainty over their community’s future.

Chai Khana

We are Chai Khana - a multimedia, visually-driven storytelling platform. We cover untold human stories and connect people across the region to reveal the lives of ordinary people in the South Caucasus.

Our platform is a place for perspectives - we challenge linear narratives and work for the alternative, original voices that tell compelling stories, stories that are usually ignored. We talk about what others are silent about.
