Mizna is a woman-led non-profit contemporary and experimental arts organization. We publish a self-titled bi-annual literary and art journal, Mizna, and Mizna Online, a digital platform for writing. We also produce the Twin Cities Arab Film Festival, the largest and longest-running SWANA-centered film festival in the Midwest. Additional programs include classes, readings, performances, public art commissions, and community events that have featured 1000+ local and international writers, filmmakers, and artists for 25 years.

Strengthen Mizna in 2024, our twenty-fifth anniversary, lets us continue supporting our community, writers, filmmakers, and creatives alike.
