Georgian Culture Minister Thea Tsulukiani on Monday announced plans to showcase the country’s “great Christian culture” in Poland with a “profound display” this year.

Tsulukiani made the reveal in comments at the concluding event of Europalia arts festival in Brussels, which highlighted Georgia in its latest edition. 

Speaking with the press at the biennial event showcasing Georgian polyphony, remembrance and avant-garde art between October and January, the official also announced Georgian cultural festivals in Tokyo and Leuville, France this year. 

We will unveil an expansive exhibition featuring over 800 exhibits for Europe in Poland. This serves as a continuation of the Europalia festival in the Benelux countries and Brussels, the capital of the European Union”, she said.

Highlighting the “diversity” of the planned events, Tsulukiani noted the festival in Leuville would be larger than last year. 

Vakhtang Makharoblishvili, the Georgian Ambassador to the EU, called the Georgian showcase at Europalia event as “highly successful”, saying King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium had expressed “deep admiration” in their impressions on the event and Georgian culture.
