Our Impact ModA Curations functions as a cultural archive, preserving narratives of resistance, reclamation, and representation. In sociocultural anthropology, we call attention to and translate the socio-cultural elements of our dynamic, diverse ways of being. As a team, we champion artists as educators of their own experiences, thereby challenging pre-existing art world metrics by using anthropology to reimagine how art can be valued. We emphasize how utilizing art challenges and expands our understanding of what it means to be human.
Commitment to Diversity and Social ImpactModA Curations is dedicated to uplifting underrepresented voices and supporting social justice. We allocate a portion of our profits to initiatives that advocate for equality and cultural diversity, along with supporting the artists we represent.
