Parallel Class

Zura Tsofurashvili (b. 1992, Tbilisi) is a multimedia artist and the founder of the educational
organization "Parallel Class." His artistic practice centers on researching and studying the
interrelationships between crafts and art. He is particularly interested in the role of art in
religious and spiritual thinking and its canon. Additionally, he is involved in various social
activities focused on gathering, sharing, and accumulating information and resources.

Mari Kalabegashvili (b. 1999, Tbilisi) is a multidisciplinary artist. With cross-pollination methods
of practice, she builds up the works using contradictions as an entry point. Her works
synchronize with the dynamics of the given environment without being distanced from the
context and pose the question of what happens after “ever after”. Apart from her individual
praxis, she is currently involved with the Parallel Class project creating alternative educational
initiatives for high school students throughout the country.
