Collective to be

Nearly formed collective of independent art book publishers - a small, slightly chaotic, deeply passionate corner of Georgia that packed five years' worth of books into a suitcase and flew to Berlin. We are bringing together four publishers, each with its own style, creative process and perspective on publishing.

Three Hundred Sixty-Five — Publishing an annual ink-on-paper newspaper for five years, bringing together texts by Georgian artists in which they share their working processes and inner states with the reader. For the first time, Three Hundred Sixty-Five will present a newly printed bilingual book, REVOLVED — an anthology that brings together a carefully curated selection of texts written for the newspaper over the past five years.

Kona Books is a Tbilisi-based publishing house and bookstore focusing on contemporary visual and interdisciplinary projects.

De: Nostalgia is an interdisciplinary, bilingual magazine dedicated to rethinking and de:construction of the past.

Bu8ki is a spontaneous mix of text and photos, infused with absurdity and often filled with satire, sarcasm, and also poetry.

Revolved is a collective chronicle of time by Georgian artists, drawn from texts published in the newspaper Three Hundred Sixty-Five between 2021 and 2025. History will record these years differently. This book, instead, offers a parallel history, created by artists, personal, fragmentary, at times unfinished, at times subjective, and at times all-encompassing. It is an attempt to preserve an extended and intimate account of our time through observation and reflection. The book brings together personal stories, fragments of history, reflections, and poetic texts by Georgian artists working in Georgia and Germany.

Anthology of female voices in 20th century Georgian poetry addressing questions of artistic material

The magazine was intended to speak about various forms, experiences, and senses of Nostalgia locally and globally. Georgian people feel nostalgia towards theatre and the feeling is justified. Without analyzing and delving into the reason as to why that may be, I have decided to offer the platform to theatre theory, as I identify the lack of it to be the primary reason for the lack of the broader vitalism in theatre. Theatre can be vital in Georgia, but only in small pockets and crevices, which are not safeguarded but shunned by the government and increasingly used as a tool for political manipulation and control and not vice versa.
