Handmade print - ხელით ბეჭდვა თანამედროვე ვიზუალური ხელოვნების, კრეატიული ინდუსტრიისა და არტბიზნესის ერთ-ერთი მნიშვნელოვანი დარგია. მთელ მსოფლიოში ხელით ბეჭდვა მაღალ დონეზეა განვითარებული. საერთაშორისო ფესტივალების, ბიენალეების მეშვეობით მიმდინარეობს ამ დარგის მუდმივი პოპულარიზაცია. მაშინ როდესაც პრინტი საქართველოში მხოლოდ იაფფასიან პროდუქციასთან ასოცირდება. პრინტის კვირეული, მხატვრების, კოლექციონერების, სპეციალისტებისა და მოყვარულების შემოქმედებითი სინთეზის კარგი საშუალებაა. მნახველებს შეუძლიათ ასოციაცია „არტ კავკასიის“ მიერ წარმოდგენილი კოლექცია არა მარტო საექსპოზიციო სივრცეში, არამედ საზოგადოებრივი თავშეყრის ადგილებში დაათვალიერონ - ქუჩის გალერეის სახით. ხელით ბეჭდვა ნამუშევრების მცირე ტირაჟირების საშუალებას იძლევა და მათგან ყველა ორიგინალია. სხვადასხვა თაობის ადგილობრივი და უცხოელი წამყვანი მხატვრები სპეციალურად ფესტივალისთვის ქმნიან ნამუშევრებს, რომელთა ფასი ხელმისაწვდომი იქნება მსურველთათვის. LIFE-N-STYLE - ფესტივალის კონცეფციაა, რაც თანამედროვე ხელოვნების ახალ ინტერიერებში შეღწევასა და თანამედროვე ცხოვრებაში ინტეგრირებას ითვალისწინებს. პრინტი და ტექსტილი - ამ თემას უკვე რამდენიმე წელია აქტიურად იყენებენ ტანსაცმლისა და გამოყენებითი ხელოვნების დიზაინში. გამოფენის პარალელურად იგეგმება პრინტის ტექსტილისა და კერამიკის სინთეზის პრეზენტაცია. პროექტს საპასუხისმგებლო მისია აკისრია: გამოავლინოს ხელით ბეჭდვის საუკეთესო ასპექტები, პრესტიჟული გახადოს ღონისძიება და ხელოვნების ამ დარგისადმი ინტერესი გაუღვივოს საზოგადოებას.

  • Ethnobiology of Georgia
    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

  • Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality
    Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality 2020 POLICY STUDY Unknown Suburbs: Azerbaijani Settlements of the Gardabani Municipality Aleksandre Kvakhadze POLICY STUDY 2020 Introduction Since declaring its independence, the Georgian state has been struggling with the integration of its ethnic minorities. The regions densely populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis and Armenians have been passively involved in the social and political processes in Georgia. The combination of the legacy of Soviet ‘national policy,’ an ineffective educational system and socio-economic problems hinder the integration of these regions. This paper will be devoted to the Gardabani municipality, an administrative entity with a significant Azerbaijani population. Several factors have determined the choice of this region for this study. Firstly, geographically speaking, the region represents a suburban area of the cities of Tbilisi and Rustavi. It can be considered as a part of ‘greater Tbilisi/Rustavi’ or a ‘Tbilisi-Rustavi agglomeration.’ Secondly, despite its proximity to Georgia’s political and economic center, the Azerbaijani community in this region has been leading a parallel life and is disconnected from the country’s social and political dynamics. Simultaneously, very little is known about this region and very little research has been carried out on its multi-ethnic population. Unlike the neighboring Marneuli municipality, which has been receiving increasing attention from academia, the media and the non-governmental sector, the Azerbaijani population in Garbadani remains neglected by academic and non-governmental bodies. For instance, there is no comprehensive academic research on the linguistic, historical, ethnologic, social and religious parameters of Azerbaijanis in Gardabani. The absence of reliable works leads to myths and uncertainties regarding Georgia’s Azerbaijanis.
