Welcome
KODA is 5! Kickstarter
KODA is 5! 🎉 & we are celebrating by publishing 5 exhibition catalogs with 5 artists: Farideh Sakhaeifar, Rowan Renee, Mildred Beltré, Alex Mari, and Renée Cox. Head over to Kickstarter to contribute to our $5,000 goal today! Each catalog will be printed in full color, with artworks, exhibition installation shots, and commissioned essays tackling the issues of displacement, justice, motherhood, and bodily reclamation—and we need your help to make them a reality.

Marcia Tucker, the Founder of the New Museum
