Nazran district
Nazran district

The Nazran District was established in 1924 as part of the Ingush Autonomous Region. Being part of the North Ossetian ASSR in 1944-1957, it had another name - Kosta-Khetagur. And after the collapse of the Chechen-Ingush ASSR in 1991-1992, it became part of Ingushetia. It received municipal status only in 2009. It is now divided into two parts due to the configuration of the territory. The district is located in the central and western parts of the republic and borders from the north with the Malgobek district, from the east - with the Sunzha, from the south and west - with the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania. About 100,000 people live on the territory of the district, including internally displaced persons from the RNO-Alania numbering 1,336 people, as well as internally displaced persons from the Chechen Republic - only 368 people. On the territory of the district flow rivers Sunzha, Surkhohi and Nazranka. Also an important water body of the area is the Alkhanchurt Canal. In Nazran district there are 30 educational institutions, including secondary, general and primary schools, as well as 1 hospital-stationary for 35 beds and 10 outpatient clinics. The region has developed agriculture: there are 8 state unitary enterprises, two agricultural cooperatives and 268 farms. There are 8,190 hectares of arable land on the balance sheet.

An inclusive ceramic painting studio called “Grafita” has opened in Nazran.

This project by the Ingush regional branch of the All-Russian Society of the Blind provides opportunities for creativity to people with disabilities.

The studio's presentation was attended by representatives of parliament, the Public Chamber, the Committee on Youth Affairs, leaders of non-profit organizations, and, of course, members of the blind and visually impaired community.

The guests took part in a master class on painting, admired an exhibition of original works, and discussed important issues of accessibility of the cultural environment for people with disabilities.

The project team has already undergone training in modern painting techniques, purchased the necessary equipment, and plans to hold inclusive master classes, including off-site ones.

The project is being implemented with the support of the Presidential Grants Fund.

The studio is open on the basis of the inclusive pottery workshop “Malkh.”
