‘I Spoke to You with My Eyes’ is a line from a poem by Abkhaz poetess Nelli Tarba. Known as the ‘Mother of Abkhazian Lyricism’ and ‘the first Abkhaz poetess,’ Nelli Tarba had a profound impact on the national literary tradition. The programme ‘I Spoke to You with My Eyes,’ organised by the SKLAD_ cultural platform in collaboration with Asarkia Charitable Foundation, gave a voice to women working in various creative and social fields across Abkhazia.
