Del Vaz Projects, named after the Farsi phrase “open-hearted and open-handed,” began in 2014 in gallerist Jay Ezra’s apartment. In this video, Jay narrates the beginnings of his gallery, influenced by his curatorial and Iranian-American roots, while walking us through the bee hives in his backyard.
