We’re still basking in the glow of our afternoon on July 18 with ✨ @minoosh_z ✨ It was a rare opportunity to step behind the scenes of Minoosh's practice and explore her unique approach to meaning-making. Drawing inspiration from nature, ritual, and the act of walking, she shared the roots of a practice she first developed in Iran through collaborations with artist collectives and personal rituals.
Here in the U.S., Minoosh continues to employ walking as a central way to examine history, place, and power. Her work asks: Who walked this land first? Who controls it? Who benefits, who has access—and who does not?
Using digital mapping technologies, Minoosh traces her movements and transforms those journeys into sculptural works that incorporate sound, video, and light. These layered works evoke histories of migration and colonialism while questioning ideas of ownership, identity, and the ways lived experience becomes embedded in the landscape.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to support Minoosh and build community. Your curiosity, generosity, and commitment to artists help sustain the vital role of arts and culture in the Bay Area. At a time when so many artists face the very real possibility of displacement, your presence reminds us that this community—and this work—matters.
