Tamuna Chabashvili engages with archives, memory, and traces left by personal and collective histories. Through visual and tactile narratives, she maps stories, memories, and questions emerging from the inheritance of the past.

Gallery Artbeat is a pioneering contemporary art gallery based in Tbilisi, Georgia representing mid-career and emerging Georgian artists.
