Descrizione:  Georgian queer artist IAMNIKITA performing in an underground Tbilisi venue during a time of growing political tension and violence against LGBTQ+ individuals in Georgia. This image captures more than a performance – it documents resistance, vulnerability, and survival through art. As fear and hostility increasingly silenced queer voices in the country, IAMNIKITA was ultimately forced to leave Georgia and relocate to Belgium in search of safety and artistic freedom. This photograph stands as a testimony to a disappearing moment in Tbilisi’s underground culture – a portrait of an artist performing not only for an audience, but for existence itself.
