On 27 June, Art Foundation Anagi will unveil The Earth is Female, a major new exhibition by Georgian artist Lia Bagrationi. Described by the foundation as one of its landmark projects of 2026, the exhibition will occupy all three exhibition floors.
One of Georgia’s most established contemporary artists, Lia Bagrationi works across painting, sculpture and installation, as well as ceramics, textiles, graphic art and video. Bringing together works across her career, The Earth is Female will be one of the most comprehensive surveys of her practice to date. The exhibition includes an entire floor developed and curated by Bagrationi herself, which the foundation says will remain under wraps until opening night.
The curators, Konstantine Bolkvadze and Mariam Shergelashvili, say the exhibition explores recurring themes in Bagrationi’s work, including identity, memory, and the relationship between her experiences as a woman and as an artist. Drawing on Georgian cultural heritage, classical art, mythology and feminist thought, Bagrationi moves between the personal and the collective, transforming everyday objects, domestic tools, textiles and discarded materials into poetic, often unsettling works that question consumer culture, gender roles and humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
Rather than advancing a straightforward feminist narrative, The Earth is Female invites viewers to consider the intersections of female experience, artistic practice, history and nature.
Art Foundation Anagi, which opened in July 2025, has quickly established itself as one of Georgia’s leading contemporary art institutions, playing an increasingly prominent role in the country’s cultural landscape.
The exhibition will remain on view until 1 September. Throughout its run, Art Foundation Anagi will present a programme of accompanying events inspired by and expanding on the exhibition’s themes.
