Based on the results of the interview, the members of the selection committee chose the winner, which was Irina Yan, who graduated from Westminster International University in Tashkent. She said:
“For me, studying in the master's program at the Higher School of Economics and the Garage Museum of Modern Art is a unique experience in the field of art and is a strong educational base. I was also lucky with the group, which brought together very interesting and intelligent people with different academic and professional backgrounds and who inspired me to be even more curious. I am sincerely grateful to the Foundation for the opportunity to realize my creative ambitions and be part of this exciting program. I believe that upon returning to Uzbekistan I will be able to apply the acquired knowledge in reality.”
