The memory palace is a memorization technique where a person imagines a familiar place, such as an apartment,and places items they wish to remember within this imaginary setting.Through our imaginary, metaphorical apartment, we aim to recall and remember various events that have occurredand been forgotten in Georgia over the past century.
How and why did people get and lose apartments in Soviet and post-Soviet Georgia? What are the social and cul-tural dimensions of an apartment and what memories are stored within their rooms?Based on archival materials, the video explores history through apartments in Tbilisi, Georgia, spanning both Sovietand post-Soviet times.
