This is the Tbilisi OASis Call for Artists! Join the Instruments of Perception residency program in Tbilisi.
Instruments of Perception is the residency program organised by the One Caucasus NGO under the OASis - Open Art Spaces in Synergy program. The residency program is dedicated to exploring new ways of seeing and experiencing everyday life, the city, and culture - with a special focus on the cultural identity and architectural context of Georgia.
Artists and musicians will work with the theme of perception: how it is shaped, how it shifts depending on context, and which innovative practices can expand the boundaries of experience. The residency emphasizes reflections on Georgia's cultural heritage, identity and urban environment as starting points for artistic exploration.
The residency will take place at the Tbilisi OASis venue known as the Library about Georgia, located in the heart of Tbilisi on Rustaveli Avenue. Three rooms of the library will be provided to artists for the presentation of their works.
Dates: 4-11 October, 2025. The final event will take place on October 10th.
