Saturday was thrilling! 🤩

We had great time listening to Очеретяний кіт, Brass Federacja and Nick Infest Turashvili!

Thank you for these amazing emotions!

For sure, we will remember it for a long time!

[One Caucasus @OneCaucasus]

This is how it was yesterday! Thank you, Tamada, Natural Born Lovers and Kenichi for such an incredible evening!

Do you remember about free buses 🚌 from Tbilisi and Marneuli to One Caucasus Festival? They depart from the cities every day and come back after concerts.

There'll definitely be a @OneCaucasus Festival in Tserakvi, Georgia, again this year, and I hope it'll be larger than before given the regional situation, but would also be great to see the Caucasus Jazz Festival held again in Tbilisi too. My 2015 report:

What is “participatory architecture”? Check out the video made by #OneCaucasus 2021 volunteer Michał. During the Festival he documented the process of architectural interventions led by Polina Vietrowa with the communities of Kvemo-Kartli.

Prawie miesiąc spędziłem w Gruzji 🇬🇪 filmując działania realizowane w ramach @OneCaucasus.

Jednym z nich było planowanie partycypacyjne w wioskach.

Liderką inicjatywy była Polina Vietrowa, która swoje doświadczenia z 🇺🇦 chciała przekazać Gruzinkom.

@AnitaKrasowska Dziękujemy, że byłaś z nami! Do zobaczenia, #OneCaucasus gaumarjos!

Last night marked the end of this year's @OneCaucasus. Hopefully next year it'll be back to how it was in pre-pandemic days with artists, architects, educators, and musicians from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and beyond working on the region's 'most inspiring festival.'

[One Caucasus @OneCaucasus]

Throwback to #OneCaucasus Festival Sunday events: fantastic "Tamada" playing on the "OC-mobile" music truck accompanying vaccination efforts by the municipality of Marneuli.
In collaboration with the @NCDCGeorgia. #GetVaccinatedNow

This year's @OneCaucasus has come to a close and I'm remembering these pics I took of local kids playing outside Marneuli City Hall in 2017. A great year with some awesome bands from Armenia and Azerbaijan especially. Hoping all will be back to normal next year in 2022. ✌️

[One Caucasus @OneCaucasus]

Saying goodbye to One Caucasus volunteers.
Their legacy lives on: map of Tserakvi created with the local children during cartography workshops and new community benches.
Thank you for your commitment and co-creating #OneCaucasus 2021!

[Onnik J. Krikorian @onewmphoto]

In the video from the last tweet I retweeted by @OneCaucasus is Georgian folk band Chveneburebi. On Friday, after arriving at base camp in Tserakvi, shot some video of them with Lela Nakeuri and managed to also shoot a few portraits in-between takes. More to come in a blog post.

[Onnik J. Krikorian @onewmphoto]

The @OneCaucasus and @NCDCGeorgia action was specifically in the Marneuli municipality of Kvemo Kartli, population around 123,000 with 83 percent ethnic Azerbaijani, 8 percent ethnic Armenian, and 8 percent ethnic Georgian. Materials were therefore in multiple languages. #COVID19

[One Caucasus @OneCaucasus]

@paulrimple @onewmphoto @NCDCGeorgia Thank you! 🤩 It’s all about the team effort, close collaboration with Marneuli, @NCDCGeorgia and our super creative and determined co-creators. #WeDoNotGiveUp

[Onnik J. Krikorian @onewmphoto]

A quickly put together video from yesterday's @OneCaucasus and @NCDCGeorgia collaboration to take music and #COVID19 vaccinations to the ethnic Azerbaijani villages of Sadakhlo and Qizilhacili in the Kvemo Kartli region of Georgia. #GetVaccinatedNow #WearAMask #Minorities

[Onnik J. Krikorian @onewmphoto]

Apart from last night's @OneCaucasus afterparty, didn't shoot more than 5 photos of yesterday's collaborative #COVID19 vaccination drive, and even these are with my baby Sony RX100 V-a as my 2 'proper' cameras were shooting video only. Anyway, some of the preparations shot on it.

[One Caucasus @OneCaucasus]

And the “OC-mobile” music truck continues visiting villages in the Kvemo Kartli.
Today, with the music of Tbilisi Horns we accompany the mobile vaccination bus of @NCDCGeorgia.
