Women’s rights groups march through the streets of Tbilisi in a counter-demonstration to a recent far-right march.
The protest was held in response after Tatia Dolidze - who criticised the xenophobic demonstrations - was threatened with sexual violence by the organisers of the nationalists’ march. . Last night, thousands attended an anti-immigration protest march through the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia. The rally was supported by several conservative and nationalistic groups. Reportedly, one of their demands is to close nightclubs "owned by Arabs and Iranians".
Video footage can be seen at Ruptly TV here. Work from a project on migrants in Kazakhstan (as featured at the Photo Kathmandu photography festival last year) is on display in Gallery Millepiani in Rome as part of LoosenArt’s “The Street Experience” group exhibition. The show runs from 3 to 31 July. If you find yourself in Rome this July, come and check it out.
Having work exhibited in Rome did wonders for Michaelangelo's career, so I am anticipating similar levels of PR from this one. |
