Mezquitas de Puerto Rico is an ongoing collaboration between Alia Farid and Jesús "Bubu" Negrón on the representation of Islam in the Caribbean. Renderings/depictions have so far resulted in a series of prayer rugs of mosques in the Puerto Rican towns of Hatillo, Vega Alta, Fajardo, Rio Piedras, and Ponce, and postcards of the same places. For the carpet-kilims series, the mosques were photographed in the spring of 2013 and later interpreted by weavers from Mashhad, Iran.

How different cultures in ASOIAF view cats pt. 1
In our world, culture and religion shape how we view animals, and for this post, specifically cats. An example of how cats a view differently in cultures can be seen in Islamic cultures and Romani Cultures. Because cats clean themselves often, they are viewed as clean by Muslims and can be kept with the family. But for Romani, because of the Marime which states that the genital region is a source of impurity, a cat licking its own lower regions this becomes unclean. Roma still keep pets but they generally don’t let them sleep in their bed or lick them. This is all contrasted by American culture where a pet is viewed as a member of the family and will be referred to as the baby or child of their owners and is allowed to sleep in bed with them.
It’s so interesting and I want to expand this to how Westerosi people see cats and what types of cats they keep.
Dorne
Dorne takes a lot of inspiration from the Arabic would and I think it only makes sense for them to have a similar view of cats.
Cats keeping themselves clean makes them the perfect pets for humans. Cats are also known to pray to the seven if given a seat in a sept (cats love prayer rugs and it’s really cute). Both religious and hygienic, cats are viewed as more sophisticated than other animals and thus are kept closer by their families.
The salty Dornish are best known for their love of cats with many ancient breeds residing in their homes. The green orphans will sail with a cat or two and give them a fish from the days haul. Cats are also seen as omens of good fortune and many shops have a resident cat. Septa also keep cats control pests and because they will sleep at the feet of the seven when their statue is warm. The Turkish Van and Turkish Angora are both old and rare breeds of cats that would flourish in Dorne.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Sandy Dornish also enjoy cats. Because cats naturally retain more water than dogs, they are fitted to live in the desert. These cats are some of the more wild ones as it’s common for the domestic cat to mix is wild cats. During harsh sandstorms, the Dornish will wrap the cats up in a blanket to protect them from the elements. Cats are known to love this and scene request it when their is no sand storm. The Savannah cat is a cross between wild Serval and a domestic short hair cat.
Tumblr media
The stony Dornish are less attached to cats than the Sandy or salty Dornish. Every house hold does have a cat and it’s common for cats to sleep in the room of their favorite person, but the stony Dornish believe that cats have some impurity to them because they lick their own genitals. Families will often perform a cleaning ritual on their cats by wiping them down with a wet cloth to cleanse them of impurity. Cats in stony Dorne are slender and very angular, making them great at slipping through stony hills and along steep walls. The Cornish Rex and Devon Rex are popular cat breeds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Iron Islands
Cats were a big part of Scandinavian culture. The goddess Freya had her chariot pulled by Norwegian Forest cats (also called fairy cats) and it was custom for a groom to give his bride a kitten as a wedding gift. For Vikings specifically, cats were kept to control the pests on ship.
Because the Iron Islands is more based on mythical Viking culture than historical Scandinavian culture, we can have some fun with the cats.
Ships are a big part of the iron islands culture, so each ship should have a cat or two. Perhaps to “bless” a ship before it sets off, a kitten is brought into the ship and makes it their own. I also see the Ironman have a very communal ownership of the cats. Fisherman will give the cats some of their catch as part of a good luck ceremony and people will set up small cat houses for them. They could also view a cat staying with you as a sign of good luck. But because of Thai communal ownership, it would probably be taboo to try and keep a cat to yourself. The iron islanders see a cat as not belonging to a person but to a ship or island.
Types of cats I think the iron islanders would have. Because they’re kind of weird, I think some weird breeds would fit. The Selkirk Rex is known for playing in water, being loyal to their human, and also have some curly fur!
Tumblr media
The Andal Kingdoms
The Andals had a similar relationship to cats that Europeans had before the Black Death. For the Andals, cats were viewed as mainly pest control for their farms and cities. People rarely tries to socialize kittens when born which led to people believing cats were naturally aggressive.
It wasn’t until Maesters discovered that cats help prevent the spread of disease by killing rats that cats became a more popular household animal.
The reach was the first kingdom to become very found of the cat. They were perfect help for their farms and perfect pest control for old town. Old Town holds a celebration of cats each year to thank them for preventing extreme disease outbreaks from happening in the city. The Redwyne family is famous for breeding Persians cats that resemble the pugs they breed with short faces. Rich families have a few Persian cats that they dress up as little lords and ladies as an extra show of wealth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the storm lands and riverlands, cats are seen as antithetical to the land. The kingdom’s natural wetness drives cats away. Fisherman are often at odds with local cat populations as they fight over fish. Despite the general population’s disinterest in cats, they are a common staple at inns and bars as they keep rats away from the straw and wheat. Patrons consider seeing a cat with folded ears as a lucky charm that their stay at the inn will be a pleasant one.

The earliest surviving carpet - the Pazyryk Carpet - 5th century BC.
Across the globe, weaving was being used to create an alternative to the tapestries of medieval Europe. Carpets were just as portable, decorative and luxurious as tapestries but were instead used to cover floors, not walls. The earliest surviving carpet - the Pazyryk Carpet - amazingly dates from the 5th century BC, in what is now modern-day Armenia but what was then part of the Persian Empire. Historic evidence of carpets can be found all across Asia, but particularly in the Islamic world where the use of prayer rugs was - and continues to be - widespread. The Quran actually mentions carpets on several occasions, stating that they can be found among all the comforts of Paradise.

Torah Ark curtain, Ottoman Empire or Italy, 19th century
This sumptuous, lavishly embroidered Torah ark curtain features two iconic motifs found on Torah ark curtains: the portal motif and the hanging lamp motif. Both of these images were originally drawn from the designs of Islamic prayer rugs but were “Judaized” with the inclusion of Jewish elements such as verses from the Bible and Judaic images like the Star of David seen at the top of this curtain. The portal motif was adopted for use on Torah ark curtains as it connects the worshipper to several relevant biblical verses, for example, “Open the gates of righteousness for me that I may enter them and praise the Lord” (Ps. 118:19). As seen here, the image of the hanging lamp always appears together with the image of the portal in the design of Torah ark curtains from the Ottoman Empire and represents the Eternal Light that hangs in the synagogue.

Mezquitas de Puerto Rico is part of an ongoing project between Alia Farid and Jesus 'Bubu' Negrón that involves documenting mosques in different parts of the Caribbean for later interpretation by weavers living and working in the Arab Muslim world.
The work looks at how traditional Islamic architecture is adapted to the context of the Caribbean through exaggerations of elements such as the dome and minaret, and issues related to the environment or jannah-like setting in which these structures are found.
