Yelena Baturina : "We believe that incubating talent is vital in the design sphere, helping new designers get a firmer foothold on the career ladder through contacts made within our professional networks, and also through giving them the time they need to develop their thinking without financial pressure - or, in fact, to have the luxury of 'being open' to new ideas.  That is the founding principle behind everything BE OPEN does - taking the risk of supporting great ideas that have the potential to change the way we live."

The new tour of the YTA is implemented in partnership with Cumulus International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media, and curated by Luisa Collina . Cumulus is the only global association to serve art and design education and research.
