Mitra Khorasheh is a Canadian curator, writer and educator based in New York. She is the founder and curator of signs and symbols, a contemporary art gallery in the LES focused on time-based media. Prior to opening the gallery in 2018, as an independent curator she organized exhibitions and performances at galleries, institutions, art fairs and nonprofits as well as large-scale public art installations in the United States and internationally.
