Mosaique et art-thérapie en Géorgie
<p><strong>Who are we ? </strong></p>
<p>Mosaic Nomad is a yound organisation whose aim is to combine mosaic and support to patients suffering from chronic disease.</p>
<p>Created by a group of friends sharing the same values and passions-most are or have been active members of Doctors without Borders (MSF) and are mosaicists, it proposes to associate patients to mosaic's restoration sites.</p>
<p><strong>Regarding the artistic project</strong></p>
<p>If you travel to Abastumani village, located South-West of Georgia, you'll notice a magnificent mosaic (30mX3m). Vividly colored, made of high quality material (glass tesselae) it shows a hunting scenery in the most pure modernist style as shown by the sketch of the original art-work below:<img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/609215/sketch-1564731194.png" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Created by artist Saurmag Ghambashidze in the 70s,<img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/611163/Project_20170911_0001__27_-1566051587.jpg" /></p>
<p>this artwork which mark the village entrance is in a poor state.</p>

<p>In Abastumani, there is also an hospital for patients suffering from tuberculosis, most of them with a resistant form of the disease. The duration of the hospitalization (between 9 months and 2 years), the isolation, the lack of activities, the secondary effects of the treatment lead some patients to abandon their treatment.</p>
<p>Because we know well the disease and its constraints, we've traveled all over Georgia on mission with MSF, because we practice mosaic, we are proposing to launch a project of restoration of this mosaic together with the patients.</p>
<p>The restoration site should start by 2021 but in the meantime...</p>
Allocation of funds
<p><strong>Why do we solicit you today ? </strong></p>
<p>The drastic climate conditions (snow, cold), the water infiltrations and the actual & already degraded state of the mosaic let us fear further degradation of this artwork before the restoration can start, while 30-50% has already disappeared.</p>
<p>We organise in november 2019 a 2 weeks mission with 3 objectives :</p>
<ul>
<li>Preserve the mosaic to avoid further degradation before 2021 ; by evaluating the wall & the mosaic and taking immediate protective measures</li>
<li>Evaluate & prepare the restoration itself : to decide the best plan for restoring the mosaic, the planning of the restoration site and the budget.</li>
<li>Meet all partners, the patients affected by tuberculosis, the director of the hospital and all local partners to coordinate together the project.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>The actors of the mission</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It will be done with Astrid Maréchaux, patrimonial restoration & preservation professional specialised in mosaic; she is enthusiastic about the project. </p>

<p>The president of the organisation, Emmanuelle Chazal and two other members (Florence Fermon and Sylvie Goossens) will participate as volunteers. <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/609218/Stage_Nov_2016__Sandrine_Daubrege__26_-1564732330.JPG" width="100%" /></p>

<p>In Georgia, we will have the assistance of Georgian collaborators as well as Nana Zazanashvili, grand-daughter of the artist Saurmag Ghambashidze.<img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/611157/14925304_10208491566100768_1810986875868393448_n-1566049523.jpg" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What will we do with the crowd-funding ? </strong></p>
<p>It will allow Mosaic Nomad organization to finance this 2 weeks mission.</p>
<p>Even if the 3 members of the organization will pay for all their expenses and participate for free, we need to have professionals on board with us ; to respect the art-work by restoring it using the appropriate technique and materials, following the restoration rules of this particular field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>First level to reach : 5800 euros ; the evaluation of the mosaic</strong></p>
<p>It is the amount we need to do the site evaluation. The sum will cover the salaries & expenses (travel, acommodation, etc.) for Astrid, the patrimonial restoration professional and georgian partners, involved with Mosaic Nomad. We will also pay for photogrammetry, a technical tool to obtain high quality photos of the mosaic, essential for the evaluation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Second level to reach : 8050 euros ; the preservation of the mosaic</strong></p>
<p>With the extra amount, we can preserve the mosaic. A georgian crafsman will apply the protocol that will be designed by the professional mosaicist, an important step before the restoration in 2021.</p>
<p>The 2250 euros added would cover for the material, salary of the craftsman who will implement the protocol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What if we can go above these 8050 euros ? </strong></p>
<p>We could use the money to pay the cost of kisskissbankbank plateform, the production of the rewards and their mailing. All sum added would really be a most welcome support of our own personal financial means.</p>
<p>And if really your generosity goes beyond our expectations, we could plan a second visit for 2020. The project will need repeated visits and meetings to be finalised and coordinated with all partners.</p>
