Hi friends,

A year of protracted war in Ukraine is coming.
We can think about what a horror it was, can think about what will happen.
But one thing is clear for sure — we want this war to be stopped!

Therefore, we invite you to get together in these trying times and support Ukraine.
No dancing, only experimental music and an immersive experience.
All proceeds from the entrance, some part from bar and all collected donations will be divided between 2 local organizations that help Ukrainian refugees in Tbilisi — Choose to Help and Volunteers Tbilisi.

Grateful to Ertad team for support, who understood the cause and provided a venue.

⏱ 23.02 / doors 19:30 / finish 00:00
📍Ertad Bar 
💸 15 ₾

Stay tuned for information about the artists and hope to see you soon!

Hi dear,

Tomorrow we will share information about the artists, but now enjoy the video from our last event, where we collected 1585 ₾ for Ukraine and people who suffered from the war.

Сan't wait to do it again in a new format and hope u too ✨

Glad to introduce our dear artists who will play for the peace on this important day.

Oleksandr Demianenko is Ukraine multimedia artist.
Oleksandr’s ‘sound’ varies in instrumentation and theme/period from one release to the next. However, all of the artist’s work is underpinned with a sense of warmth and texture, be it achieved through analogue mediums, field recordings, or mediated loops, experiments with tapes and old machines.
He also runs Tbilisi based Giraffe Tapes label and released on Hush Hush Records, Enmossed, Rusted Tone Recordings, Psychic Liberation.

Muunno (Koyil + Shorlax + a latif + der Herbst) is an improv project gathered in Tbilisi at the end of 2022. But we were familiar with each other before on different levels. The band appeared just with the simple intention to play live music without a clear idea of where it would bring us. Each of us has a unique musical background, so when we play together we bring each other's ideas together and create something new, it's hard to put it in one specific musical genre.

Ani Zakareishvili is a young Georgian, Tbilisi-based electronic music producer and DJ, known as Kdema, born into a musical family.
Frequent visitor to local music hotspots such as Mutant radio, TES, Left bank.
She is particularly interested in acoustic and sample-based music, and producing original sounds and textures using a variety of sampling and digital techniques. Her debut album ‘Mtirala’ was released in 2021 by CES Records, also her tracks released on ‘Sleepers Poets Scientists‘ Georgian experimental compilation.

David Datunashvili is a musician, producer from Tbilisi. During his career he has recorded and produced various genres of music including electronic, ambient, experimental music, as solo artist and also as member of different projects such as Okinawa Lifestyle, Masterknot and DI.

Our good friend Laskovo Skoval is musician, sound artist dj, DSS label co-founder and mathematic teacher from Moscow now based in Tbilisi. Kostya experiments with mixing ambient music and recorded artifacts. He prepared an experimental live set based on audio documents retrospecting a year of war.

We want to warn you that we do not want to play music on February 24, so the event will end at 00:00.
The program will be very tight, so advise you to plan ahead if you want to catch most of the performances.

Glad to introduce our volunteer friends too!

Choose to Help is a volunteer initiative to help Ukrainians, opened in Tbilisi in early March (Paliashvili 60 before).

They help more than 1,500 Ukrainian families who fled the war in Tbilisi or were unable to return home and provide them with humanitarian aid: food, hygiene products, household chemicals and medicines, as well as clothes and shoes.
Visitors also leave requests for special medicines and medical equipment, baby carriages, furniture, dishes, electrical appliances and necessary items, which are difficult to do without — and volunteers try to provide them with everything they need as much as possible.

By attending the event tommorow, you will also contribute to supporting the team — half of the profit from entry will go to the guys. If you want to support them more, you could also donate to the box.
Volunteers of the initiative will be present at the event and will be glad to tell you more about their activities and get to know each other personally.

And our second friendly volunteer team.

Volunteers Tbilisi is a volunteer movement helping refugees from Ukraine to get information, food, medicine, medical care and temporary housing in Tbilisi.

60,000 Ukrainian refugees ended up in Georgia because of the war.
5,000 people get help, 15 tons of food if distributed by volunteers — every month!
Also guys help with temporary housing in Tbilisi in houses that we rent, pay for hotels for short-time accommodation and help with cohabitation.
Another important thing — consulting Ukrainians about evacuation from Ukraine and Russia, medical care in Georgia, entry and exit from Georgia, legal issues and all issues related to supporting Ukrainian citizens in Tbilisi

Second half of the profit from entry will go to the initiative, and you could also donate to the box to support them more.
Volunteers of the movement will come to the event too and will be glad to tell you more about their activities and meet in person.

Please friends, share this post with your friends. So more people will come, and people who suffer the from war will get more help.
With showing a repost at the entrance, you can get our stickers (until they run out).

UNITE TO CHANGE immersive
practice will be happen during the evening.

Unite to change is a reflection of Russia’s invasion to Ukraine and its effect on our lives. We gathered interactive practices that will help us to find inner strength, connect and make a change.

We are not alone.
We can unite.
Speak.
Act.

Let’s grieve, learn how to support each other, see the community of likeminded people around and share what we can do now.
