Creative Director. Cultural Strategist. Photographer.
Arash Afshar is a multidisciplinary storyteller, creative director, and cultural strategist working across photography, podcasts, and writing. Moving fluidly between countercultures, subcultures, established institutions, and government, he translates underground movements into narratives that build bridges between communities and reshape how they see themselves and each other.
Through his emerging identity, Miraḡe the Pluronaut, Arash Afshar sets forth a mission to cultivate a global coalition of artists, advocates, and allies who foster Artist Consciousness as a protected state—the soul-force behind creative truth-telling and cultural evolution. He advances this mission by educating, creating, and modeling values rooted in mental health, heart-centered servant leadership, and accountability within the creative field.
