The 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair and the Pavilion of Georgia
signifying the Honorary Guest Country was officially opened. Georgia was
presented with the overall concept of Georgia - Made by Characters and it
quickly grasped the focus of German audience.
On October 9-14, 72 Georgian writers will meet with foreign
readers simultaneously on two separate stages at the Georgian pavilion and
introduce Georgian literature, conduct discussions and answer the coresponding
literary questions. The pavilion is also equipped with a variety of thematic
spaces where visitors have the opportunity to get to know the Georgian foreign
literature and culture, listen the sounds of Georgia, and to see the famous
Magnum photography exhibition on display, as well as the translations of
foreign-language books.
The Pavilion of Georgia was created by designer Gia Bochua.
The entire project was executed by the National Library of
Georgia and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia.
