About the Lajevardi Foundation

recognizing & promoting contemporary iranian art — since 2005

A Cultural Institution

The Lajevardi Foundation is a cultural institution that has been active since 2005 with the aim of recognizing and promoting contemporary Iranian art and culture. Our activities are diverse and wide-ranging. These include research and knowledge production in the field of contemporary art, as well as collaboration with institutions and non-governmental organizations.

In recent years, we have collaborated with artists from around the world to foster international intercultural cooperation. Supporting the publication of specialized journals on historical and cultural studies, providing financial and moral support to artists, and publishing books through the Contemporary Art Publishing House are among the other activities of the Lajevardi Foundation.

We take pride in having been the executor, partner, or organizer of projects over more than a decade that have profoundly impacted the expansion of the boundaries of contemporary Iranian art.
