Avtandil Gakhokidze’s Art
A fine work of art can engage the viewer’s heart and soul for a very long time. You can extend your imagination quite a long way into it and can feel its rhythms. You can also observe how this particular artwork reflects the culture of the society and the time in which it was made. You can also reflect on how and why it causes you to respond personally. What are its qualities that are mirrored in you? Georgian contemporary artist Avtandil Gakhokidze’s work exudes calmness. The people and animals in his paintings seem to have patiently existed way before the artist painted them, or, actually, painted over their living, although invisible to…

Freedom of Transportation
For whatever reason you want more parks for the city, whether it’s for quiet contemplation, socialization or a clean air to breath, the fact still stands - the reason you want more, is that there isn’t sufficient number of them

Homophobic Nation
Gay men and lesbians are subject to legal discrimination in housing, employment, and fundamental civil rights. And transgender individuals are stigmatized and discriminated against. This reinforces a fact that equality on the legal level isn't the same as social equality. Minority stress—a cause of health disparities—is a theory about the impact of prejudice and stigma, which is the most prevalent under the shade of our ever-vigilant church.

By kirruna What the fuck do you represent? I’ve never been able to verbally communicate exactly what I wanted to convey, but since you asked me to give you an intro to myself, I’ll try my best to contradict the first part of this very sentence… Shit. So, buckle your seat belts, this opinionated shit is about to get real. I’m from Tbilisi, which is basically God’s waiting room, full of people with extreme cases of imagined self-importance trapped in a concrete jungle of fears and bad faith. I’m just another misshapen piece of the puzzle that makes up the chaotic mess of a city that we know and love.…

Mariam Sitchinava – Stealing The Intimacy
“With a flick of a finger, I am stealing the intimacy.” Mariam Sitchinava’s work has a particular quality to it. There is something raw, intimate, and alive. Her ethereal photographs allow the viewer to become part of the artistic process: to hear the sounds, breathe in the air, and almost touch the tips of the grass. Her works are in motion. They fill you with an unfamiliar feeling, something you can only experience if you follow her lead and allow yourself to be carried into her reality. ✱ Photograph courtesy of Mariam Sitchinava How long have you been involved in photographic art, and how did you get into it? I’ve…

Georgian Dance – The Eternal Celebration
The roots of the art form are lost in the depths of millennia. Its history is the endless strive for perfection. Dance is a specific form of spiritual culture that reflects reality in artistic images.
