Thank you for your generosity in supporting Mizna, a Minneapolis-based Arab American cultural organization with a mission to celebrate expression and diversity in the Arab community!
Mizna was formed in 1998 and has done much work to promote Arab American artistic expression since that time. We publish a nationally recognized literary journal, and have presented several well-attended community arts events as well.
We do all of this work as a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that survives on grants and donations. Your donation will greatly help us to continue our important mission. Mizna is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are deductible for U.S. taxpayers. Learn more or donate now.
FEATURED STORIES
 Beginning February 1, Mizna will be offering three classes in spoken and written Arabic: Arabic I, II, and III. The classes will take place in the Mizna office in Northeast Minneapolis with instructors Antoine Mefleh and Sondes Douzi Wooldridge. MORE >> |  |
 Mizna is partnering with the Loft Literary Center to present a spoken word performance by Remi Kanazi as part of the Loft's Equilibrium series. Remi is an amazing Palestinian American spoken word artist, and his performance on Saturday, December 3 is not to be missed! Also, the following day, Remi will be leading a spoken word workshop. Lunch will be provided and there will be an optional sharing of work. Space is limited, so sign up for the workshop today: mizna@mizna.org or 612-788-6920. The workshop is co-presented by Mizna, the Loft, and the Twin Cities chapter of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN). MORE >> | |
 Mizna, a journal of Arab-American literature, is seeking original writing for our upcoming publication, with a focus on the so-called "Arab Spring." We welcome journal entries and writing from the ground, poetry, short stories, personal essays, theatrical pieces, creative non-fiction, and reflections from abroad and at home on any aspect of the theme of revolutions and uprisings, and the ensuing backlashes and military incursions. Submission deadline has been extended: September 9, 2011

About Mizna
Mizna's award-winning journal, published since 1999, continues to be the singular journal of Arab American literature in the United States.
Mizna has been honored to present the annual Twin Cities Arab Film festival in Minnesota since 2003 and has hosted some of the most talented Arab American artists in the visual arts, on stage, in music, and in film—including Simon Shaheen, Suheir Hammad, Hakim Belabbes, Nadia El Fani, Jack Shaheen, Raed Al Helou, Mai Masri, the Iron Sheik, Elias Khoury and others.
In 2004, we opened our Mizna Center, which has given us a physical home to hold meetings, classes, and events.
