Luca Bitchikashvilli [Lucrezia]

Luca Bitchikashvilli [Lucrezia], a queer multimedia artist and performer from Tbilisi, Georgia, uses art as a tool for social change. Inspired by her grandmother’s wisdom and stories, Lucrezia found her voice and form of resistance in art, particularly as she navigated her own identity in a society where queer individuals are often marginalized.

Her performances, often provocative and inspired by culture and stories, feature surreal and mythological characters with a mission to challenge societal norms. Lucrezia’s mastery of various dance styles, costume design, lighting, and music allows her to create comprehensive pieces that fully express her message.

Despite facing adversity and discrimination, Lucrezia remains committed to using her art as a form of activism, believing that her creations can foster understanding and acceptance in a world that often misunderstands and marginalizes queer voices.
