Forbes Ukraine

On the cover of this edition of Forbes Ukraine, neurotypical artist Anna Sapon represents the atelienormalno workshop, a space where artists, including those with Down syndrome, collaborate. Anna has reimagined the Forbes logo, symbolizing how in a society that values extraordinary ideas, freedom, and acceptance of differences, the unreal becomes achievable. This year, her embroidered artwork, adorned with insightful text, represents Ukraine at the Venice Biennale. In Forbes’ 107-year history, its logo has evolved 18 times, but never before in such a groundbreaking and liberated form. Anna is among 10 artists whose works grace the pages of this printed magazine.

The issue’s theme, “Growing Up,” reflects societal transformation—from youthful maximalism to maturity and self-awareness. Delving into this edition of Forbes Ukraine demands your time, attention, and openness to new perspectives, promising an invaluable experience. Highlighted within are works by prominent artists Zhanna Kadyrova, Oleksiy Say, Tiberiy Silvashi, Vlada Ralko, Yaroslav Futymsky, Inha Levi, Pavlo Makov, Alevtina Kakhidze, Sasha Kurmaz, and atelienormalno. Each has pushed the boundaries of imagination, offering a unique artistic lens for readers.
