About us

Welcome to Woca

The Woca platform is a hub for traditional and indigenous artists to present and teach the arts of our ancestors. The role of the Woca team is to build and hold an infrastructure that brings the indigenous artists to the sights. Also, introduce the ancient cultures and promote Canadian indigenous artists to the world. Regarding the educational role, indigenous artists provide structured and original-proof educational courses and workshops. In the commercial section, indigenous artists are delivered to a marketplace to directly meet international consumers.

Our Story

The Woca team was formed by a group of friends who shared a common passion for preserving traditional and indigenous art. Mehrnaz, the founder of Woca, had been running Mehr Gallery, an online art gallery. Amin joined the business as a business advisor. Yazdan, who had a fondness for traditional music, was a friend of Artemis, a Persian dance instructor in Tehran. Milad, who was a friend of Yazdan from music jam sessions, played a key role in connecting the team, and he was also a colleague of Amin’s.

How we help?

Canadian Indigenous artists have 41% less median income than the median Canadian salary. One of the reasons that caused the weakness of indigenous artists in sales, was the absence of a platform that exclusively focuses on indigenous arts to promote the artists, internationally. The Woca team exclusively designed and developed the Woca platform to concentrate on empowering Canadian indigenous artists.
