Wings of Desire is a biannual festive gathering of queer folks, a place for deviant perceptions to fuse and celebrate a distinct approach to beauty. Unafraid of exploring new avenues, Wings of Desire invites transgressive minds to dream up different worlds and is an artistic response to Georgia's ongoing political and cultural crises. On October 31 at 23:59, every corner of Bassiani, Horoom, and Aarmass will be taken over by the artists listed below: 2CIU, Achiko Shamakhia, Andro Eradze, Aniway, Archprincess, Atirama, Ballinheaven, Bozaura, Christian Stemmler, Clawstatic aka Aghnie, Creams & Lisa Rivs, Datuna Barnabishvili, Depression, Giorgi Zatiashvili, Glasoon, HerShey, Himiko, Homo Erectus, Illegal Frequencies, Inked Maniac, Iron Sight, Izmir, Knaughty, KY Cigni, Masterskey, Memotech, Merab Gugunashvili, Miss Stella Pantera, Nia Gvatua, Nika Kutateladze, Oleksii, Otaraant Queer, Pantaxrey, Queen Yulia, Rachel Maroon, Sasikvdilo Napasi, Shea, Shotiko Giorgadze, Skywalker Visuals, Sophie Phare, Spider Lily, Svimon Bolkvadze, Tekla Kighuradze, Tengiz Budu Margishvili, Vasil Berela Wings of Desire prioritizes the LGBTQIA+ and FLINTA* communities. Tickets are available to registered and verified members of the #communal platform. This time, due to the country's current repressive system, which has significantly hindered the possibility of obtaining essential support for the festival's artistic curation, invitations will be available through symbolic donations – this is the only way to keep Wings of Desire. Tickets are also available at the door, subject to the club’s entry policy. Special thanks to everyone for the solidarity and support shown during these challenging times. Curator—Hitori Ni; artwork—Jappari.
