Learning and discovering new things about the Art of Kaiyly Kün in an ongoing process.

Our exploration is rooted in interdisciplinary nature of scientific discovery and is informed by available verified sources in such academic fields as indigeneity, decorative arts, language, history, humanity and decision-making. We incorporate academic approach with practical experiences. Our knowledge base of Kaiyly Kün is built on historic, folk, modern, authored leatherworks along with published academic works of professors Liliya Sattarova, Guzel Valeeva-Suleimanova, Nailya Koumysnikova, Shchulp’an Hesm’atva as well as literary works of many Tatar writers.

Our team of academician, practical expert and curious youth is constantly researching and promoting the unique art of the Tatars with the world in the forms of virtual and physical exhibits, online publishings, presentations. With the choice of publishing academically procured information on easy-accessible platforms (website and Instagram), we make the collective traditional unique leather craftsmanship of the Tatars the recipient of due accolades, credits and due acknowledgements. The art of Kaiyly Kün, as many other collective indigenous creatives, lack appropriate, self-deterministic, unbiased presentation. At the www.UniqueLeatherMosaic.com, we strive to share quality – researched, analysed, systematized- without pursuit for individual recognition and/or commercial profit. Our goal is to study Kaiyly Kün – artistic legacy of the (Volga) Tatars – in order to elevate the indigenous/ native/ authentic unprecedented traditional craftsmanship, to educate and to inspire anyone to learn and preserve the artistry.
