Experience Georgia as a Living Mosaic of History
How do politics, daily life, and cultural expressions shape the history of a country? On Monday, November 9, 2026, Dr. Tamar Qeburia invites you to a thorough journey through Georgia's long 20th century at the Institute for East and Southeast European Studies in Regensburg. The lecture begins at 18:00 and combines historical context with a look at social and cultural developments.
History Between Independence and Soviet Era
The focus is on Georgia's brief independence from 1918 to 1921, the subsequent Soviet domination, and the various ways in which people dealt with imperial power relations. The lecture looks not only at political events but also at the experiences of a society in transition.
When Kitchen, Dance, and Music Tell History
The event experience becomes particularly vivid through the cultural areas of life that Tamar Qeburia includes in her analysis. Kitchen, dance, music, film, and urban life appear as spaces where identity was preserved, adapted, and renegotiated. This creates a nuanced mosaic of Georgia that connects historical developments with concrete forms of everyday life.
An Evening with Academic Depth
Tamar Qeburia is a research associate at the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies. She earned her doctorate in Eastern European History at the University of Göttingen and Ilia State University in Tbilisi. Her research focuses on the economic, social, and environmental history of the Caucasus in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The event is part of the series with & about GEORGIA, which links academic engagement, cultural exchange, and European perspectives. Among others, the cultural office of the City of Regensburg, the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies, Orphée Regensburg, the St. Katharinen Hospital Foundation, the Vardzia Cultural Center, and Wine Land Georgia cooperate in the event planning.
