Art Intervention into the Museum: Soviet Rainbow – From Textile Shop to Museum

The exhibition addressed the history of the museum and its connection to Georgian silk and the Soviet textile industry. The title of the exhibition, Soviet Rainbow, referred to the name of the Soviet Georgian Silk factory. The artist researched the now almost-defunct textile industry’s fabrics and gave them a new life in her works.

The exhibition was created as a result of the artist and curator residency in the museum.
