Minifest as Manifest

I would like to tell you about one interesting story. It happened a few weeks ago. I'll start from beginning: so, the government of Tbilisi have sold Gudiashvili Square, wich is located in central part of Tbilisi. Investor's task was deconstruct this Square, wich is the cultural heritage site and instead develop restaurants, shops and so on. But the Georgian youth protested this fact and they organized a big rally, wich was titled "Minifest as Manifest" and the georgian musicians, poets and artists participated in. There came a lot of people, the protesters have sold books, old materials, near square it was sold alcohol and the georgian youth were very fun. This was peaceful rally and the protesters express, they care for their environment. Because of this rally the government of Tbilisi have stopped deconstruction of the Square so far.

I put some photo-materials about this rally, see:
