Bazaar Talk: “Works on Tbilisi Markets” Holds Online on November 5

This webinar brings together artists and scholars who previously worked on/in/through Tbilisi bazaars and markets.
 
As semi-private and commercial spaces that provide public resources and social & cultural knowledge, they contain significant services and social infrastructures. Regarding past experiences on those practices and places, the webinar discussions are based on such questions to open up a dialogue;
 
"What is at stake in bazaars regarding privatization and gentrification as a witness to Tbilisi's shifting urban dynamics and, recently, with the pandemic? How vendors deal with/ fight back restrictions and bans? What are the researcher and the artist's role in making socially engaged and community-based projects in such commercial spaces? What are the common tools to present the political and social issues related to bazaars? What other support/work/research formats can we think of?", is written in the description of the event.
 
Panelists are:
Onur Ceritoglu (Moderation)
Lydia Matthews
Ana Ramazanshvili
Lela Rekhviashvili
Giorgi Rodionov
Marike Splint

The event will take place in Zoom on November 5 at 8 pm.
