Mizna is a critical platform for contemporary literature, film, art, and cultural production centering the work of Arab and Southwest Asian and North African artists. For more than twenty years, we have been creating a decolonized cultural space to reflect the expansiveness of our community and to foster exchange, examine ideas, and engage audiences in meaningful art.

New Arab American Theater Works is a Minnesota based collective of SWANA (Southwest Asian/North African) playwrights, musicians, and performing artists. We fill a void in the local and national scene where Arab and Muslim Americans frequently lack voice and opportunities.

Pangea World Theater strives to build a just world by creating multi-disciplinary theater that embodies decolonizing practices of solidarity, sustainability and equity.
