Gelare Khoshgozaran is an undisciplinary artist and writer who, in 2009 was transplanted from street protests in a city of four seasons to the windowless rooms of the University of Southern California where aesthetics and politics were discussed in endless summers. Using time-based media and film, her practice encompasses literary theory, translation, and autobiographical fiction.
MOZAIK Philanthropy (2020 – 2024) modeled new practices in philanthropy with disruptive, creative, and catalytic potential. Through a participatory grantmaking practice, the foundation provided direct funding and exhibited exposure to over 500 global artists, in an effort to democratize philanthropy in the arts. Today, we announce a strategic pause to our public grantmaking to reflect on our work to date, including our unique role in the culture of philanthropy. Please note that we are no longer accepting grant solicitations or communication requests at this time.
Thank you for your consideration.
