GAAP 2025 | Nowruz: A Cultural Advocacy Plan | Sabereh Kashi

On June 25th, CA for the Arts hosted the culminating event of our inaugural Grassroots Artist Advocacy Program in San Francisco. ⁠ ⁠ Over the past nine months, five inspiring artist-advocates from Oakland and San Francisco have been developing Artist Advocacy Plans rooted in their creative practice, community knowledge, and visions for systemic change.⁠⁠ Each fellow presented their plans to implement real change benefiting artists and culture bearers across the Bay Area’s cultural landscape.⁠ Learn about Sabereh Kashi’s plan: “Nowruz: A Cultural Advocacy Plan”. GAAP is a first-of-its-kind fellowship program designed to equip artists with the tools to advocate for just and equitable policies in their communities. This pilot cohort was made possible through generous support from the Kenneth Rainin Foundation.⁠ _____ Sabereh Kashi is a documentary filmmaker, editor, and cultural strategist committed to bridging diverse communities through intimate, personal storytelling.
