Call A Friend Project 2.0.22
Curated by Oksana Yushko and Aishat Adueva

Call A Friend 2.0.22 is the second issue of the project in transition, bringing to you voices of international contemporary artists and art practitioners, answering a call to collective actions and emphasising questions of communication, social connections, and friendship.

Call a Friend project is a series of artistic and educational initiatives, promoting international cultural exchange and polyphonic talks between various artists and communities. Addressing the current social and political issues, ‘to call a friend' means to engage with different groups of people, to make a direct contact in time and space. The project, created by the artists and curators Aishat Adueva and Oksana Yushko, is an artistic exploration of the cultural landscapes of the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, and the creation of sustainable interconnections in the cultural and social spheres.

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. Based on principals of critical and musical thinking, Call A Friend project proposes participants to play all together in one 'orchestra’, using their voices as instruments to be heard, bringing each instrument back to tune. Each sound of these voices is important.

Call A Friend project partners: Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum, Pro Helvetia Swiss Arts Council, Ria Keburia Foundation, Ipureland, CCA Tbilisi, Auditoria Tbilisi, Rhisoma Lab, Ored Recordings.
