Being an artist herself, Mian is committed to a providing a platform of experimental art and associated cultural practices. She aims to build an arts movement that welcomes a dialogue of critical issues relevant to contemporary art through exhibitions, performances and more. “We find spaces, we set a date, we put out a call and we curate. From artist to artist: we want you to be seen, be heard and be visible. We are a small team of artists that work together to create a cool space for networking and collaboration within the community!” says Mian as she continues to connect local creatives throughout the GTA in DIY spaces and established galleries throughout the city.
