About

Silk Road Gallery was founded in 2001, at a time when photography in Iran was on the rise. The press was gaining more freedom, articles were being printed with images, and artistic photography was taking a new shape. A new dynamic was emerging in the world of art. The gallery was created to introduce Iran’s brilliant photography to its audience.

Over the years, in collaboration with our photographers, we have organised exhibitions in Iran and abroad, published books, and placed their work in some of the most prestigious international museums and collections.

Today, Silk Road Gallery is an online gallery. We do not currently have a physical space, but our work continues: we present our photographers, share new series and exhibitions, and make works available to collectors and institutions around the world.
