Hot Chocolate and Games
Gvantsa Jishkariani (born 1991) is currently based in Tbilisi. In 2013 Jishkariani and Eliso Kirvalidze founded the first magazine about Georgian contemporary arts and design scenes (gargar.ge). In 2017, alongside Nata Kipiani, Jishkariani founded the Patara Gallery in an underpass shop in Tbilisi, which is a space for experimental, hitherto unpresented art and for game-changing young artists.

Can the never-ending cycles of transformation ensure the regeneration of architecture after cycles of crisis?
