Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Avant Arte CEO Mazdak Sanii: The Next Generation of Art Collectors
Q: What is the end goal of this project and where do you see it heading in the long term?
The aim is to unite a broader generation of collectors, develop them into patrons of the arts, and create sustainable support for the arts sector beyond any single project or market trend.
Avant Arte CEO Mazdak Sanii: The Next Generation of Art Collectors
Q: What exactly is Avant Arte and is it disruptive to the traditional art world?
Avant Arte is a creative marketplace that connects a new generation of collectors with artists, museums, and the broader art world. We avoid the disruption narrative and focus on additive, long-term impact and accessibility.
Avant Arte CEO Mazdak Sanii: The Next Generation of Art Collectors
Q: How did you become the CEO of Avant Arte if you weren't from the traditional art world?
My background was in music, then I helped build a music platform (Boiler Room) with co-founders who came from a culture-driven internet angle; that experience showed me how to blend community, culture, and scalable platforms, which led to Avant Arte.
Kofi Perry
Q: What's the story behind your Afrofuturist labeling and how you relate to it?
He acknowledges Afrofuturism as a useful branding descriptor while noting its controversial baggage, explaining that he uses it to describe how his art intersects cultural history with futuristic aesthetics, and that he navigates its label to reflect a broader cross-cultural artistic lineage.
Kofi Perry
Q: Can you give us like a potted, who is Kofi? Where do you come from?
Kofi explains his mixed heritage, being born to an American father and Iranian mother who grew up in Lebanon, and his upbringing across Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which shaped his curiosity and approach to art. He describes moving for schooling, exploring various mediums, and eventually grounding his practice in drawing before transitioning to painting.
