The Think Tank in Iran

Photographs by Poolad Javaher Haghighi. More here.

Our Iran think tank is the Sazmanab Project composed of Anita Esfandiari, Bijan Moosavi, Makan Ashkwari, Mani Nilchiani, Sohrab M. Kashani and Tara Fatehi Irani from Tehran, Iran.

“Sazmanab Project is an independent art space based in Tehran, Iran. This artist-run space is founded by the artist, Sohrab M. Kashani with the aim of creating a productive environment for young and talented art enthusiasts, helping them realize their ideas and projects in the proper space with the necessary tools. Sazmanab Project is basically a studio that conducts various artistic projects – both local and international – along with a show room that has the capacity to provide artists with the opportunity of hosting their own shows, holding workshops, performances and such. Sazmanab seeks to create an interdisciplinary collaboration between the new generations of artists.”
