Public Art and Regeneration in Tbilisi, Georgia

Project title: 
SPACES
Where: 
Georgia, Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine
When: 
2012-2013
Project aim: 

Artistic and cultural action in public space and the recuperation of public spaces for art, culture and urban residents.

Who we worked with: 

Oikodrom Vienna, artists and cultural workers, social scientists, architects, arts theoreticians, capacity builders and participation specialists from the Black Sea region. EU (EuroEast Culture) funded – we participated as associate partner.

What we did: 

Our Touch TD associate, Torange Khonsari, designed a mobile structure - Tbilisi Tea Trolley - which acted as a temporary space to draw in passers by and engage them in a discussion of their feelings and stories about the pedestrian underpasses in Tbilisi, which are a significant feature of the urban infrastructure here. We used this information to develop proposals for the social and economic regeneration of the underpass areas investigated.

Results: 

This approach led to proposals for further collaborative concepts and interventions. See: Tbilisi Tea Trolley Fanzine.
