Arzu Arda KOSAR
Arzu Arda Kosar is an artist and community facilitator who has shown her work internationally and taught art at every level. Kosar’s interest social psychology has led her to examine collaborative art making and community building art practices. She instigated numerous collaboratives such as Yarn Bombing LA, MapConception,TransIstanbul, and International Survey of Alternative Artscene. As the founder of knit graffiti group Yarn Bombing Los Angeles, she facilitated the design and implementation of a massive crocheted architectural
installation at the façade of the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, CA that.brought together a community of over 500 participants from 25 countries. The project questioned the boundaries between art and craft, and used scale and color to play with artistic, architectural and institutional identities. Kosar is also a member of the MapConception, a collaborative duo that explores issues related to urban history and psychogeography. During these pandemic days, Kosar can be found in social isolation at home in a far and forgotten corner of Los Angeles County, unless she’s driving around Southern California, dropping off painted rocks that read “wish I were here” or “what matters?”.
