Last night I had some time to kill, but also a bad headache to the point where decent lighting made me nauseous, so I sat in my room with the lights off and no digital references and made these doodles.

How the Dungan community protects its identity from regional influences

Dungan people are known to be a mix of Arab-Chinese ethnicity. They immigrated to Karakol (eastern Kyrgyzstan) and nearby Deishan village in the 1880s to escape religious persecution. To this day, they are holding on to their Dungan culture, despite certain Russian words seeping into their language.

“We are not Arabs, nor are we Chinese. We are Dungan — with a separate culture, history and lifestyle,” Gubbar Lyuvolinov said, with a sign of pride emanating from his tone.
