Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice (Est. 2022) is a project-based curatorial initiative located in New York City and Yerevan. AHCP invests in long-term collaborations with artists, nurturing and developing rigorous and experimental practices, to bring vital new voices to the public. The practice recognizes art as a transformative force and a vehicle for social change. We are committed to affirming, developing, and supporting the many underrepresented voices creating outstanding art. This includes women, LGBTQ+ and artists of color, practices whose methods, forms and expressions have been marginalized. We collaborate with universities, museums, and other institutions to curate challenging art exhibitions, workshops, readings, and film screenings.
