Throughout the past year, Atəş Hub has implemented a wide range of successful projects in the fields of contemporary art and culture, organized numerous exhibitions, established valuable partnerships, and contributed to the growth of a dynamic creative community. Today, more than 50 talented young artists and cultural practitioners proudly consider themselves members of the Atəş Hub family.
During this journey, one of the greatest sources of encouragement for our platform has been the continuous attention and support for contemporary art and the younger generation of artists from Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. Her trust in Atəş Hub and her commitment to our activities have always been a profound source of inspiration and responsibility for our team.
Today, we are especially pleased to share that, thanks to the generous support of Leyla Aliyeva, two young artists from Atəş Hub, Ramil Aliyev and Javid Hasanli, will begin their studies in fine arts this year at prestigious higher education institutions in the United States and Canada.
Creating opportunities for talented young artists, helping them present their creative potential on the right international platforms, and supporting their professional growth remain among Atəş Hub’s core missions. This inspiring achievement is one of the most meaningful outcomes of that mission.
We express our sincere gratitude to Leyla Aliyeva for her unwavering support of Azerbaijan’s youth, art, and culture. We firmly believe that this commitment will continue to inspire the international success of a new generation of Azerbaijani artists.

On March 11, a roundtable meeting dedicated to the development of the digital art ecosystem in Azerbaijan was held at Fluxus Space. The discussion was organized by the Center for the Development of Cultural and Creative Industries, Atəş Hub, and Torpağın Səsi, bringing together representatives of state institutions, independent organizations, and creative communities. Among the participants were representatives of Yuva, Barza, Aydani Gallery, and other organizations.

The finissage of the exhibition "Synchrony", based on ecofeminist theory, took place at Gazelli Art House in Baku. The exhibition was organized with the support of the Embassy of Latvia in Baku.
The presented works explore the harmony between the female body and nature through the expressive possibilities of contemporary art. Using diverse visual approaches, the artists interpret ecological issues and offer new perspectives on the “body–ecosystem” relationship, a key concept in ecofeminist theory.
During the event, speeches were delivered by the Ambassador of the European Union to Azerbaijan, Mariana Kuyundzhich, and the Ambassador of Latvia to Azerbaijan, Edgars Skuja. They emphasized the importance of gender equality, the role of women in society, and the need to care for the environment.
