From a press release:
“Tabla, located at 3227 Georgia Avenue in the Park View/Petworth neighborhood, will be hosting Mikheil ‘Mishiko’ Sulakauri (@streetdefault on Instagram), the renowned Georgian street artist. Mishiko is known for his ‘LAMB’ character/alter ego, which can be found on walls throughout his hometown, the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.

Mishiko will be visiting DC again, October 27 through mid-November, before heading to New York where he will exhibit his work. While in DC, he’ll be doing some more interior work at Tabla and adding some funky graphics to the front windows showing key Georgian dishes to communicate to passersby what Tabla has to offer.
