Silk Road Gallery — gallery cover

Curatorial Ethos

The gallery’s programme centres on championing Iranian photography and contemporary visual art, providing a dedicated platform for artists to examine themes of reality, memory, and cultural identity. By sustaining a consistent exhibition rhythm and engaging with global art fairs, Silk Road Gallery connects regional photographic practices with broader contemporary art discourse.

Silk Road Gallery is a commercial contemporary art space founded in 2001 and based in Tehran, Iran. Established during a period of expanding press freedoms and rising interest in artistic photography, the gallery focuses on presenting Iranian photographers and visual artists to local and international audiences. It maintains a regular exhibition schedule featuring solo and group shows, operates an online viewing programme, and has represented its roster at major international events such as Paris Photo 2022. The gallery operates from a dedicated location on Keshavarz Boulevard in Tehran.
