This project explores how disabled people experience life in Tbilisi, where a lack of accessibility, social stigma, and political neglect continue to marginalise those most affected. 

Through mapping, storytelling, and conversations, the work exposes these layered injustices and asks how architecture can respond. Rather than offering a single solution, the project becomes a spatial protest: a way to amplify silenced voices, reclaim public space, and confront how disability is treated and overlooked. 

By making these issues visible in bold, loud, and public ways, the project hopes to spark conversation, challenge indifference, and create space for a more inclusive future.
