Shalva Nikvashvili fled Georgia after his family found out he was gay. Now he transforms found objects to offer a glimpse into his soul.
“I am furious, but I’ve told myself that I have to move on,” Shalva Nikvashvili says. The 28-year-old artist left his homeland of Georgia five years ago after his family found out that he was gay. Shalva is furious because of the angry messages his family members have sent him. One day before the interview, they discovered he was running anunder his family name. “They are scared to death that people around them will find out what I’m doing here.
Shalva tells me that there was no place for his artistic dreams in the ultra-conservative family he grew up in. When they found out that he was gay, they asked him to pack his bags and leave. He ended up in Ghent, where he married a Belgian boy with whom he broke up with later. Shalva felt liberated at the time, since he had always felt suffocated in his home country, but then, a long waiting period began to get a residence permit or a work permit.“I went crazy.
