ქეთი ხიდაშელის ფოტოპროექტი: ხანდაზმული ქალები გურიაში

წარმოგიდგენთ ფოტო-კოლაჟს, რომელიც ჩვენი პროექტის „ფემინისტური ფოტოგრაფიის სახელოსნო“ მონაწილემ, ქეთი ხიდაშელმა შექმნა (ოზურგეთი).

"ბოლო დემოგრაფიულმა კვლევებმა აჩვენა, რომ გურიის სოფლებში მოსახლეობის დიდი ნაწილი ხანდაზმული ასაკისაა. ხშირად, მათი ოჯახების წევრები სამუშაოდ დიდ ქალაქებში არიან გადასულები. თუ გავითვალისწინებთ იმასაც, რომ ქალთა სიცოცხლის ხანგრძლივობა მამაკაცებთან შედარებით მეტია, ხანდაზმული ქალების უმეტესობა მარტოდაა დარჩენილი. ეს ფოტოისტორია დაგანახებთ მათ ყოველდღიურობას".

DINA, 82. Dina's spouse has long been deceased, her only son and grandchild have also passed away, while her daughter-in-law is gravely ill and is being treated in Tbilisi. Due to natural phenomena, her house no longer has much roofing; when it rains, water seeps down to the first floor and Dina is forced to spend the night at her neighbors'. She suffers from health complications and is no longer able to care for herself or do housework.

NATELA, 82. Natela's husband moved to Russia, where he married another woman. She has two children, who she raised alone without the help of her spouse. Natela used to be a leading tea grower and was repeatedly awarded for her work. She built her house herself and ensured that her children received higher education. Her son, who resides in Kutaisi with his family, manages to visit his mother once a month. Her daughter lives with her husband in one of the villages in Guria. Natela has seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. She is currently caring for her brother-in-law's son, who suffers from a mental disorder.

NINA, 91. Nina is a teacher of Georgian language and literature by profession and has worked as a schoolteacher for a period of 45 years. She has never been married. Out of seven of her siblings, only one is alive, but seriously ill. Nina herself suffers from poor eyesight and has difficulty moving around. She enjoys discussing politics, reading newspapers and watching TV series.

SULIKO, 74. Suliko used to work as a teacher at the local village school for 51 years. Her husband passed away 30 years ago. She has two children: her son has been living in Moscow for the past 35 years, while her daughter is with her family in Tbilisi. Suliko is busy all day in the yard; she works in the field, cultivating walnuts, corn, and citrus plants. However, she finds it difficult to sell the fruits of her labor. Her children and grandchildren visit her for a month every summer, but for the remainder of the year, she stays alone.
