Yerevan has always evolved through the people who create, question, and reimagine the world around them. Every meaningful cultural shift in our city has begun with individuals who introduced a new sensibility and were ready to move beyond familiar boundaries. Today, that spirit is especially visible in the work of the new generation.

The changes taking place in Yerevan show how closely the city’s growth and its cultural life are connected. As we shape the city’s future, we want to ensure that creativity has room to grow-through spaces that encourage expression, initiatives that bring communities together, and collaborations that open Yerevan to a wider cultural dialogue. Culture is not a separate sphere; it is part of how the city defines itself and how it speaks to the world.

This is why our partnership with platforms like DASEIN matters. The journal highlights the people and ideas that reflect Yerevan as it is today. It brings together stories from across our cultural life-alongside the work of already well-known and pioneering artists-and presents a contemporary view of the city’s creative environment.

Our support for the journal reflects our belief in this momentum and in the potential it carries for Yerevan’s future. The city will continue to stand with those who imagine, build, and contribute to its cultural life.
