From August 22 to 29, within the framework of the Tbilisi International Contemporary Art Exhibition Artisterium 18 / 2025, an international artists’ exhibition titled 'Visions of Collaboration' will be held at the Tbilisi State Academy of Art and the Zurab Tsereteli Museum of Modern Art.

The project is organized by the Artisterium Association (Georgia) and the International Environmental Art Symposium, "Nine Dragon Heads" (South Korea).

The Korean "Nine Dragon Heads," is a collaborative program involving Korean and international artists. Its activities include exhibitions on major international art platforms such as the Venice Biennale, São Paulo Biennale, and Istanbul Biennale. "Nine Dragon Heads" is the first Korean art organization to present Korean contemporary art to Georgian audiences, doing so for the first time in 2009 within the framework of Artisterium.

"Nine Dragon Heads" was founded in South Korea in 1995 in response to the destruction of a significant historical site. Over the years, the symposium, which focuses on eco-political themes, has developed into an open interdisciplinary platform where artists from various parts of the world create individual and group art projects, exploring contemporary humanitarian, environmental, and cultural issues.
