From Tbilisi to Cambridge: Mishiko Sulakauri’s Artistic Journey

Mishiko Sulakauri is a visual artist, based in Tbilisi. Coming from a street art background, he created the graffiti character LAMB, with Georgia as the center of his inspiration. Mishiko later transitioned into multimedia art, creating works such as Black Spot, which reflects on the ecological problems in his hometown Tbilisi, and XVII Century Fridge, a recreation of items from Tbilisi’s public spaces within an art space.

In his Visiting Artist capacity at the Program on Georgian Studies, Mishiko will take us through his artistic process. He will share captivating stories from his past experiences, offer an insider’s look into the creative pulse of Tbilisi, and dive into how his art transforms over time. Additionally, while at the Davis Center, he’ll unveil a curated selection of Soviet archival works, showcasing the depth and evolution of his craft.

But that’s not all—while in Cambridge, Mishiko will leave a lasting mark by painting a mural in Somerville, a tribute to the neighborhood’s rich history, blending past and present in a stunning visual narrative.
