Tbilisi Mural Fest 2025 expanded to an even broader geographic and artistic scale. Projects were realized across multiple cities in Georgia, once again highlighting the importance of street art in contemporary urban spaces. This year, the festival took place in Tbilisi, Gurjaani, Kutaisi, Gori and Lanchkhuti — where the city’s first-ever street art piece was created. More 15 monumental murals were created with the participation of both Georgian and international artists. Tbilisi Mural Fest 2025 welcomed artists from around the world, from Australia to Serbia. International artists: Fintan Magee (Australia), Edduardo Ettore (Italy), Artez (Serbia) and Afzal Pirzadeh (India). Georgian artists: Davit Samkharadze, Irakli Kadeishvili, Nanina Andguladze and Salome Merabishvili.
As in previous years, the festival also addressed projects connected to Georgia’s occupied regions and internally displaced persons. This year, a mural was created on the facade of a residential building housing people displaced from occupied regions, with the central message: “Abkhazia is Georgia.” Another key theme of 2025 was the “Dance” series, implemented in five cities and dedicated to Georgian dance and movement as a vital form of cultural identity. These projects were created in collaboration with TMF Studio and invited Georgian artists.
In parallel with technological development, a 3D mapping project was executed on the building of the Georgian Academy of Sciences on Tbilisi’s main avenue. This project was carried out in collaboration with the Berlin-based leading studio Studio ReSORB and visual artist Stefan Ihmig. A collaborative project was also realized in Tbilisi , where Besik Maziashvili, founder of Tbilisi Mural Fest, created the mural “Mother and Child” together with Afzan Pirzade. The Festival as usual has domestic and international media coverage, including Colossal and Street Art Utopia and atc.
