Education + Practice + Community + Style

UNIQUENESS OF THE PROJECT

A format unlike any other

YKTV·CH is not just a photo tour, but a true art residency in the heart of Armenia.
For five days, participants dive deep into visual creativity inspired by the nature of Dilijan National Park, Parajanov’s legacy, and the energy of contemporary art. Here, education, shoots, curated meetings, art evenings, and an exhibition come together — all within an intimate and unique atmosphere.
Uniting cultures and visual artists

The project brings together photographers, stylists, mentors and artists from different countries. We believe in the power of visual language that knows no boundaries, and we create a platform where international collaborations, creative unions and friendships are born. This is not about tourism - it is about meaning, image, idea and style.
With soul and heart

The project was created by Ksenia Yakutovich — an art photographer born in Armenia who returned after nearly 30 years to share, unite, and inspire. At its core are not only the shoots but also the human story, the idea of returning to roots, and speaking about the present and future through art. YKTV·CH is a way to touch Armenia and leave as a changed person — fulfilled, inspired, with a fresh perspective and a strong visual portfolio.

AUTHOR OF THE PROJECT

Born in Gyumri, she left Armenia with her family at the age of 15. She returned in 2024 with a strong desire to be useful for her country.
This is how the idea of YKTV CH (YAKUTOVICH CREATIVE HUB) was born - a photo tour and creative platform that unites photographers, artists and everyone who speaks the language of visual art.
“My goal is to show how beautiful Armenia is, inspire creativity, create a community of like-minded people and give a powerful impetus to young authors. I believe in the power of art, love and beauty, and that all this can change the world. And I want to start with home.”
