TBILISI - IT’S COMPLICATED (2019)

A book I co-edited composed of artistic accounts that critically reflect on recent urban and social changes in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi, unveiling multifaceted perspectives on a city trying to negotiate its complex heritage, intensely contentious present and potential for the future.

Where the official motto of the city is “Tbilisi, the city that loves you,” this book proposes an alternative - “Tbilisi, it’s complicated.”
