YBAF Co-Founder Nina Hovnanian featured in Forbes Elite Reports

The latest edition of Forbes Elite Reports, Fashion Forward Armenia: Creativity in Motion, explores the people and ideas shaping Armenia's growing creative landscape. Among the featured voices is Nina Hovnanian, Co-Founder of the Yerevan Biennial Art Foundation, who shares her perspective on culture, community, and the importance of creating spaces where creativity can thrive.

In her conversation with Jeb Adams, Nina reflects on her journey from New York to Armenia and on the experiences that inspired the creation of initiatives dedicated to supporting the country's creative ecosystem.

She discusses how spaces such as A1 Art Space, Latitude Art Space, and the Art Factory Building were established with a shared purpose: to provide artists, designers, writers, and creative thinkers with places to meet, collaborate, and exchange ideas.

For Nina, cultural spaces are more than venues. They become environments where conversations begin, collaborations emerge, and communities grow.

As she states in the interview,

    "Creativity, imagination & innovation are shaping Armenia's future."

These ideas continue to guide the work of the Yerevan Biennial Art Foundation and its commitment to strengthening Armenia's cultural landscape through year-round programming, partnerships, and creative initiatives.

We extend our sincere thanks to Melinda Snider, Jeb Adams, and the Forbes Elite Reports team for highlighting Armenia's creative community and sharing these conversations with an international audience.
