Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice
Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice was established in 2022 with a focus on post-conceptual and experimental art. Our mission is to represent extraordinary contemporary art created by underrepresented voices including women, LGBTQ+, and artists of color.
Based in New York City, the practice enjoys a global network of artists and curators. It aspires to become a space where alternative thought and new pluridisciplinary lines of thinking (Afrofuturism, Armeno Futurism, AI etc…) will have the luxury to grow and be challenged.
Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice believes in the power of art to transform society one individual at a time, and in its ability to help achieve social justice for all people.
In keeping with this vision, the practice collaborates with universities, museums and other institutions to curate a diverse array of inclusive art exhibitions, workshops, readings, film screenings, and podcasts.
Shoshanna
Founded in November of 1998 by Shoshanna Gruss, Shoshanna revolutionized dress
departments nationwide with the launch of her first collection. Her dedication to fitting and
flattering the female body while indulging in whimsical details were a refreshing change from the
contemporary offerings of the moment. Gruss continued to make waves in the marketplace with
the launch of her swimwear collection in the Spring of 2001. She was the first to pioneer a
change in the swimwear industry by selling tops and bottoms as separates with lingerie inspired
sizing.
Shoshanna continues to speak to women’s fashion needs and aspirations. The Shoshanna
aesthetic has always been feminine and distinctive, utilizing bold colors and unique details. With
the arrival of her first child in 2005, Gruss introduced a line of children’s swimwear, Shoshanna
Baby Girl, featuring matching mother-daughter swimsuits. The collection expanded into boy’s
swimwear shortly after her son was born. In 2015, Gruss felt there was a void in the eveningwear market and launched Shoshanna Midnight, a separate evening line.

Impact Network International, Inc.
We believe every child deserves a quality education. We transform lives in rural Zambian communities through education and innovation, at a fraction of the cost of other alternatives.
Over the last decade, thousands of schools have been built in Africa with the goal of providing universal access to education. However, without trained teachers, strong management, and high-quality learning materials, many of these schools are failing to produce quality results.
Our focus is beyond the build. One of our key programs, the eSchool 360, is a holistic education program centered on empowering teachers with tablets, activity-based lessons, support and weekly coaching. We developed the eSchool 360 model as a way to sustain high-quality education for less than $5 a month per student. We serve over 6,000 students across 43 schools, covering early childhood through seventh grade.
Our work also extends beyond the lines of traditional education, towards a shared mission of improving the overall lives of rural children in Zambia. We design and implement a variety of projects that aim to help all of our students, including early childhood education, financial literacy, child protection, girls and women empowerment, environmental sustainability, and life skills and sexuality. With the school as a starting point, we are able to make broad changes across families and communities to improve not only their educational outcomes, but also their overall wellbeing.
