Abstract
This science-related work lays down an aim to study the so-called Tbilisi culture and its art based on various examples. Tbilisi culture is significant as it is an organic and original space of varied Georgian culture, dictated in many ways by the multiethnic nature of Tbilisi as well as its location on the junction roads of Asia and Europe, which provided then as now a climate for the coexistence of different traditions and cultures. This peculiar dialogue of various cultures established and developed a multicultural phenomenon known under the name of Tbilisi culture, which greatly defined the way of life of the citizens as well as the colorful outward appearance of the city, in addition to generating a cultural atmosphere that fostered the original styles and creative themes of the 19th – 20th century artists, painters, journalists, architects and persons in charge of theatres and movies. Our goal with this article is to introduce all the specifics of multicultural Tbilisi, for which we used ‘overview’ methods of research. The designated work is a part of the research which is related to cultures of ethnic minorities who were residents of Tbilisi. The monograph explores the way various professional cultures and dialogues developed among them, led by mravaleTnikuri Tbilisis multikulturuli tradiciebi representatives of the national minorities. In order to know and understand the multicultural character of Tbilisi, numerous important sources, contemporary publications, etc. were used. These materials widely illustrate the peculiarities of the traditions among the different ethnic residents of 19th – 20th century Tbilisi, as well as the cultural-literary atmosphere of the town. At the same time, the mentioned work forms a small part of a larger work that deals with supporting cultures of ethnic minorities and the attitude of public policy towards them (2009- 2019), setting out a plan of research into state policy and a review of cultural sustainability among ethnic minorities. This work also discusses the development bases of professional cultures within minority groups. National cultural hubs, in the form of theatres and other educational-cultural structures, played a major role in the development of Tbilisi culture. A central issue is the view of the Georgian state in this direction. At this phase of the research work, which concerns the unique multicultural environment of Tbilisi, we introduced the peculiarities of the multiethnic mode of life and cultural development of Tbilisi, as well as concrete historical processes and cultural phenomena. We also overviewed the life and efforts of those representatives of the arts field who worked for public good, and who made a distinguished contribution to the development of their own culture in Georgia. They, together with Georgians, expanded the spectrum of Georgian culture and engineered the uniqueness of Tbilisi’s urban multiculture.
