🌸 THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS 🌸

Thanks to our donors for helping Mizna bloom during this year's spring appeal! With your support, we bloomed right past our initial goals and surpassed our stretch goal of $9,000!

Your contributions aren't just funding—they are a declaration that, in these devastating times, our artists’ voices warrant preservation and celebration, and our communities deserve creative spaces that reflect their experiences.

Now on Mizna Online, a throwback from the Mizna archives, republished today on the occasion of the ⚽️ FIFA World Cup ⚽️ : "Silver & Black Terrorists, Steve Kerr’s Dad, Green Wristbands & Aboutrika Piñatas" by Robert Farid Karimi, originally published in Mizna 19.1 "The Playing Field."

Karimi reflects on how sports aren't just a game, but a reflection of the world around them.
