Information

Story as a Woven Carpet is a group exhibition of seven Georgian artists currently living and working in Tbilisi. Georgia has always been somewhat exoticised throughout the history starting from Ancient Greeks and up to the 20th century travelers’ accounts. What others have said and opined about the country is collected in Georgian textbooks and was taught over generations. The artists presented in this exhibition are telling stories from their own perspective. They represent the generation that may have started the process of creating and telling their own stories.
