The anti-war project "My Home" was created in 2022 by Liza Kesauri and Mark Maksimovich. The project aims to help people forced into exile and support local families. The project tells the story of people who suffered due to warfare and were forced to leave their homes. These people had to leave behind everything material, even the most valuable, what constitutes heritage, what holds history and is at the same time one of the basic components of culture.
