Hub

|essence and purpose

The Art and Innovation Hub is an initiative of the Center of Contemporary Art Tbilisi to unite 8 non-governmental organizations working in different disciplines in one space. The goal of the initiative is to eliminate the illusory space between disciplines and work on large-scale, independent projects. At its core, the Art and Innovation Hab is an experimental platform that aims to test the following hypothesis:

|Before

Before the grand opening, a hall with an area of ​​80 m² will be prepared in the Center of Contemporary Art, field trips to Uplistsikhe Mtkvari valley will be organized and meetings with the representatives of non-governmental organizations will be held. After conducting initial research, each organization will clearly envision its place in the large-scale Mtkvari revitalization project. The preparatory stage will be crowned by the launch of the hub and the presentation of the results of the initial research.

|After

After the opening of the Hub, the revitalization project of Mtkvari valley will be the first example of the holistic work of such a collaborative platform.

Gathered in one space, 8 independent non-governmental organizations will unite around one goal and work on sustainable, innovative projects.

The hub will offer its collaborative platform to the wider Caucasus region.

The platform will play an important role in reinterpreting the post-totalitarian aspect of modern Georgia.
