On October 28 the TBC Bank Exhibition Hall hosted a presentation of two projects with a common name: “Time and Names Return.”

The first part of the event concerned the last years of Grigol Robakidze in Germany and Switzerland. Studio Materia gathered all the information it could about this great Georgian public figure in a single book and a pair of compact discs with very impressive packaging and a musical element entitled “Love on the Third Shore.” This project is a kind of literary innovation. The book and compact discs provide information on Robakidze’s letters sent to the motherland for the rehabilitation of his name, his love stories and much more interesting material expressing the style and form of the classic author’s thoughts.

The second project, presented by electronic retro album producer “Aristocrats’ Saga,” was the illustrated diary of Babo Dadiani, one of the last of the Georgian aristocracy. The diary contained unique photos of famous Georgian nobles which Dadiani hid under her mattress during the Soviet repression. The aristocrats’ gallery is a very important cultural item for our country.

Famous Georgian public figures visited the exhibition and expressed their gratitude towards author and editor Nino Khoperia, and other organizers of the patriotic project.
