Sending much solidarity and love to the protestors in Tbilisi, especially those friends who are out there or whose loved ones are. The authoritarian nightmare will not win forever: freedom for Georgia and its people cannot come soon enough!

Exilian provides hosting space to other small organisations and projects that need it for creative and academic work: one of those organisations is the Medieval Caucasus Network, an international scholarly organisation dedicated to fostering open, cross-border discussions on the history of the mountainous regions between the Caspian and Black seas throughout the Middle Ages. They organise a range of panels and sessions at different events on the topic, and next year will be hosting their first stand-alone conference!
