Tbilisi,Georgia

This profound endeavor signifies not just Georgia's historical artistry but also its resilient spirit, demonstrated by its resistance during the Soviet era and its
evolution in modern times.Showcased artists include distinguished names such as Dima Antadze, Dato Aptsiauri, and many more, culminating in a collection
of sixty captivating artworks. The exhibition was not merely a visual treat but also emphasized the interconnectedness of art, history, and tradition. One such
notable act was the art performance centered around a monumental Qvevri "Wine Vessel", drawing parallels between Georgian visual art and its historic
wine culture.
