Ria Keburia & AiR 351 / CAC Grant 2025

Grant Recipient Announcement

Nino Gogolidze is a Georgian contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores the intersections of personal identity, spirituality, and cultural heritage. With profound emotional intensity, her work engages with contrasts—between vulnerability and strength, tradition and modernity—crafting a distinctive visual language deeply rooted in Georgian culture and shaped by her own life experiences.

Nino’s artistic approach is poetic, weaving personal narratives with historical and cultural references to create a layered dialogue that reflects both her inner world and the broader social context. She studied at the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and the Academy of Arts in Stettin, Poland, where her artistic vision was further refined and her unique visual language took shape—establishing an organic dialogue between cultural and emotional spaces. Her career includes exhibitions at the Palais Sommer Festival in Dresden, Germany and Art Athina in Athens, Greece. She has also participated in the Tbilisi Art Fair and held solo exhibitions at the Parliament of Georgia and Vernissage Gallery in Tbilisi. Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions at the Tbilisi Museum of Modern Art (MoMA Tbilisi).

During her one-month residency at AiR 351 / CAC, Nino Gogolidze plans to create a series of multidisciplinary artworks that explore the theme of identity—personal, cultural, and emotional. Her work will integrate painting, ceramics, and embroidery, allowing her to experiment and blend these mediums in innovative ways.
