The seafaring Kartvelian people whose ancient Colchian roots, and maritime mastery made them the undisputed lords of the Pontic coast, and whose vibrant music, dance, and fishing traditions keep a local identity alive within the Turkish society.
Laz people — a Kartvelian-speaking community indigenous to the eastern Black Sea coast, from Rize and Artvin in Turkey to the Adjara region of Georgia, whose ancestors were the ancient Colchians of Greek mythology — the very people who guarded the Golden Fleece. The Laz developed a seafaring and fishing culture perfectly adapted to the steep, rain-soaked mountains that plunge into the Black Sea, building wooden boats and navigating treacherous coastal waters with generations of accumulated skill. Their language, Lazuri, remains spoken in Black Sea villages, and their distinctive dances and musical traditions mark every celebration with an energy that is unmistakably their own. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that Colchian coast and Laz Black Sea Kartvelian heritage legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
