Sozo Impact

SOZO is an international contemporary arts agency and incubator at the intersection of social impact, innovation, and culture. Our portfolio of trailblazing artistic productions, experiences, and educational initiatives implements holistic approaches that cultivate equitable and liberatory creative ecosystems. SOZO means "to imagine and to create" in Japanese and "to heal, or to make whole" in Greek. Our vision for an equitable future is rooted in the belief that healing requires imagining a different world and creating it. We explore how we, our artists, and our partners can show up as our whole selves with creative agency. As experts at the nexus of arts, multicultural practice, and business, our process is infused with joy, possibility, and the exploration of collaborative opportunities. Simply put, we are about making art, making money, and making the world more inclusive.
