Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum Opens at Stamba Hotel

On September 16, Stamba welcomed the opening of the Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum.

The museum is the first institution in Georgia and the South Caucasus to focus on contemporary imagery through photography, video and new media.

The museum was created as part of the ‘South Caucasus Photography Hub for Education and Innovation’ funded by the Swiss Cooperation Office in the South Caucasus. A space of 950 square meters has been provided by Adjara Group at Stamba Hotel, the renowned historic publishing house converted into a design hotel.

The key purpose of the museum is to use visual art across the region, while encouraging further development of civil society and fundamental values.

The Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum opened with a video installation by a duo of French artists, Vincent Moon & Priscilla Telmon, called ‘Unus Mundus: Rituals and Trances.’

The installation was accompanied with live music. Find out more in this Friday’s GT.
