Hudson Institute and Gamziri will host a reception to promote Georgia’s democratic journey and its aspirations for European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization integration. Georgian food and drinks will be served.

This event will pay tribute to Georgia’s enduring struggle for freedom by showcasing powerful symbols. Among them are the EU flag from the 2023 anti-Russian demonstrations, Georgian hero Giorgi Antsukhelidze’s uniform patch, prominent writer and peace activist Guram Odisharia’s house keys from Sokhumi (which signify the expulsion of Georgians from Abkhazia), and 27 other important items. The event will feature the stories of individuals who resisted occupation, imperialism, and oppression, with their artifacts embodying Georgia’s freedom struggle.

Watch the video below to learn about the significance of some of the artifacts featured.
