An artistic exploration of youth subcultures over the prolonged period between the late 1910s and the contemporary era will open at Contemporary Art Space in the Black Sea city of Batumi this Friday.
Co-hosted by the venue and Nino Goge Gallery, and entitled Unspoken: Words of Silence and Noise, the display is previewed by organisers as "artistic and aesthetic insights into the sub- and club culture of Tbilisi" across the decades.
A summary for the exhibition said it would ask questions on socio-political potential of youth subcultures, tendencies unifying a global experience in the context, and their presentation in an exhibition form.
The exhibition reflects the historical, social and political themes that have accompanied the youth, sub and club culture of Georgia since 1918. In terms of content, at the artistic-aesthetic level, the exhibition deals also with the historical, social and political issues that are characteristic of the abovementioned cultures

Bringing together works by photographers Guram Tsibakhashvili and Omar Gogichaishvili (Hitori Ni), the show also involves video by curator Wachtang Tscheischwili bringing together archival footage and personal material, for the resulting "artistic and documentary-retrospective overview" of the questions.
Unspoken will mark the first display of the season at Contemporary Art Space, which has hosted a range of displays over the years, from Shipwreck, a 2020 photographic display illustrating refugee and migrant stories, to works under the Batumi Photo Days Festival umbrella in 2018, and Dialogue of Images, which explored the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Georgia's Ajara province and the Polish region of Lower Silesia the same year.
