KODA

Found­ed in 2019, KODA is a nomadic non­prof­it arts orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to mid-career artists. KODA grants social jus­tice res­i­den­cies to allow for exper­i­men­ta­tion and facil­i­tates cre­ative projects through strate­gic part­ner­ships with social­ly engaged part­ners. KODA fos­ters dia­logue and intel­lec­tu­al exchange, and serves the com­mu­ni­ty through exhi­bi­tions of con­tem­po­rary art, events and out­reach to strength­en art edu­ca­tion.

This year, KODA House presents a res­i­den­cy sea­son that spot­lights the theme of Peace-Build­ing, fea­tur­ing mid-career artists who work with social jus­tice in their prac­tice, includ­ing Bahar Behba­hani, Maryam Mon­al­isa Ghar­avi, and two Open Call artists. The 2025 sea­son will include solo sur­vey exhi­bi­tions, events, and arts edu­ca­tion programs.
