September and October "teleported" us to Venice, and let us feel La Biennale di Venezia vibe. Monarch's Dreams exhibition by Luda Rodin and Fragile angel exhibition by Toma and Ik Stenko. Amazing nugget artists who sincerely explore the world around them and allow us to look at it through their eyes. Toma & IK Stenko - creative mother & son tandem, working together in different countries, mixing emotions, cultures and symbols. Luda Rodin – emerging self-taught artist and a mother of five(!!!) children who lives and works in New York. She showed us a world of butterflies, she dedicates herself to charity projects and fills us with hope. We promise our audience to continue to support emerging artists, talk about them, give them vizibility and voice.

We support not only exhibitions presented in physical spaces but virtual shows too. How could it be otherwise, when new technologies are confidently entering the contemporary art infrastructure? In the beginning of December the TUNNEL VISION exhibition was opened by VOIC hub team and then the project EXILAND. Today, thousands of artists have been forced to leave their hometowns for various reasons - wars, discrimination, censorship, repressions and so on. Many of them are forced to start life from scratch. EXILAND is the exhibition to express not only loss, but also hope. Hope for changing our future using the power and synergy of the global art community. As Gerhard Richter once said, "Art is the highest form of hope". We, TAtchers' believe it is extremely important to support humanitarian initiatives like this project.

In addition to purely art projects, we consider it important to support initiatives aimed at raising awareness of our plane's environmental problems and from September '22 we were involved in a very important project initiated by IKONO tv - ART SPEAKS OUT - a series of streamings taking place during COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh. More than 150 visually powerful video artworks focused on environmental issues were streamed on the screens of the conference and on the ikonoTV platform. We spread the news about it to art & science community as well as to ecological journalists, covering the audience of more than 10 000 000 people around the world. Besides, we continued to support Dos Islas Estudios, which in 2023 is preparing a lot of interesting projects, the coolest research projects, underwater expeditions, art science discoveries that inspire and allow you to look into the future.

That is why in 2022 we dedicated time to teach ( several educational programs and webinars related to Art Business and International Art PR). Now, when many artists and art startup teams had to move because of war and political situation, we were happy to participate as mentors in a very important initiative Pause / Play: Culture under Pressure that had participants who are currently relocated or living in Germany, Poland and Georgia. With professional backgrounds in visual arts, curating, art management, art education, audio-visual artists, filmmakers, game designers, developers. The other initiative that we participated was an international online conference Cyber Attack. Digital Art & Activism, the event that investigated how and under what conditions artists are deploying technologies and online spaces to build impactful narratives and actions that respond to accelerating political, economic, and environmental crises, while forging new communities and alliances.

Working hard almost 24/7 we not only shared experience, but also learned ourselves. Our team members expanded their knowledge by studying at the program for Art+Tech startups and specialized trainings by interest:

Anna Shvets - Transmedia Storytelling: Narrative worlds, emerging technologies, and global audiences

Maria Bazhenova - Course in Digital Marketing

Veronika Smirnova - Course of Introduction to Video Games Creation

Ksenia Listikova - Soundhealing courses (gongs, tibetan bowls, bells)
