OVER THE YEARS
Within the framework of the Kolga Tbilisi Photo, on May 5, National Geographic Georgia will present an exhibition at the Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Art.
For 13 years, the magazine has introduced Georgian readers to high-quality photography and scientifically grounded publications. This exhibition brings together works by Georgian and international photographers created over the years, all focused on Georgia.
Founded in 1888 in the United States, National Geographic holds a vast archive of compelling stories told with its signature depth and striking visual material. Each story in the iconic yellow-bordered magazine aims to help readers better understand the world and humanity’s place within it—guided by the belief that through science, exploration, and storytelling, we can change the world for the better.
The Georgian edition has been serving this mission since 2012 with the support of Silknet. Over the years, alongside exploring the wider world, it has also focused on Georgia through the work of local scientists, researchers, and storytellers.
Georgia remains at the heart of this exhibition. It features works by Georgian and international photographers published in National Geographic over time, reflecting the country’s biodiversity, culture, science, history, and contemporary life. Visitors will encounter striking images from internationally recognized stories, as well as lesser-known yet equally compelling, inspiring, and thought-provoking photographs that are an integral part of National Geographic’s storytelling tradition. Naturally, the images on display represent only a fragment of the rich visual archive published across 159 issues of National Geographic Georgia over the years.
The exhibition includes works by the following photographers:
Natela Grigalashvili, Dmitri Ermakov, David Tabagari, Victor Lyagushkin, Nika Melikishvili, Nikoloz Mchedlidze, Nika Paposhvili, Tako Robakidze, Maynard Owen Williams, Fernando Javier Urquijo, Irma Sharikadze, and Guram Tsibakhashvili.
