Have you ever felt a longing to connect with a deeper part of yourself, the divine being within? This being, both familiar and mysterious, embodies the brightest and darkest aspects of who we are. It represents our courage and our fears, our light and our shadow. In our workshop, "The True Form," with Uta Bekaia we aim to explore and express this inner being.
This creature – be it an alter ego, imaginary friend, fear, aspiration, or guiding angel – helps us reconnect with our true soul, our original self. Through art, we will delve into this duality and bridge the inner divide. By creating masks we will transform ourselves, drawing on ancient traditions where humans have used these mediums to communicate with the divine. This process allows us to reach a pure, unfiltered version of ourselves.

Uta Bekaia (b. 1974) is a contemporary artist, he lives and works in New York and Tbilisi.
He had studied Industrial Design at Tbilisi Mtsire Academy. He debuted as an artist at AMA (Avant-Guard Fashion Assembly) with a sculptural performance.
Uta Bekaia engages multiple artistic mediums, creating wearable sculptures, performances, and videos, where the borders between the disciplines are blurred, andthe cultural references are synthesized in his own, personalized vision. With the background in fashion and costume making in the beginning of his career, Bekaia transformed these mediums into the main means, to approach human body and fully emerge into performances. Inspired by ancient mythology, fairy tales, Italian Baroque, and Georgian Dada, Bekaia with his exuberant, sculptural costumes, reinvents and restages long lost, never-before documented rituals. Believing in genetical transferability of communal memory, Bekaia attempts to re-connect with the ancient knowledge and impregnate it with his own experiences and new meaning.
