The lectire was held on 24 May 2022, Tuesday, at 18:00 GMT (London), 13:00 EDT (New York), 21:00 GET (Tbilisi) .
In this virtual lecture Nina looked at nine women artists of Georgia who left an indelible mark on art history. Some of them are our contemporaries, some of them have iconic status, but what unites them are their unique and bold visions of surrounding reality and determination to leave their mark.
Elene Akhvlediani, Ema Lalaeva-Ediberidze, Vera Pagava, Natela Iankoshvili, Esma Oniani, Keti Kapanadze, Natela Grigalashvili, Tamara Kvesitadze, Rusudan Khizanishvili.
One of these artists - Rusudan Khizanishvili - was present at the meeting and spoke out about her art and her vision of the world.
