Mishiko Sulakauri is a visual artist, based in Georgia's capital city, 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.
As the 2025 artist in residence at the Davis Center's 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, he’ll share a curated selection of Soviet archival works, showcasing the depth and evolution of his craft.
Don't miss this immersive celebration of art and storytelling!
While in Cambridge, Mishiko will leave a lasting mark on our community by painting a mural in neighboring Somerville, a tribute to the richness of local history, blending past and present in a visual narrative. Join us for the unveiling outside Warehouse XI in Union Square on April 23. Details to come!
