✨NESTAN NIJARADZE’s FINDINGS And for her second finding of the month my november guest @nestan_nijaradze, curator and co-funder of @tbilisi_photo_festival, has chosen to share with us Boris Shaverdyan’s work: “Boris Shaverdyan's work is not only daring and courageous in the Soviet Georgia of the 1970s and 1980s, but unique. Having taken the distance from propaganda photography, he experimented alone an introspective writing as a form of protest. His handwritten diaries, filled with notes, photos, collages and poems, tell of his desire to escape from a cursed place, populated by uniforms where "only stray dogs have heard of love". Rebel to the end. I don't know how his incendiary work escaped censorship. Boris Shaverdyan is the pioneer of Georgian conceptual photography and his work has inspired generations of photographers."
