Ab-Anbar

Ab-Anbar opened in 2014 in Tehran with a mission to strengthen the position of contemporary art in Iran regionally and internationally, with a program centred around discovery and experimentation by thought provoking young as well as established artists. In 2020, Ab-Anbar moved its program to a temporary space in London, where this focus has been expanded, bringing a more significant presence for its artists internationally. Today with its new permanent space opening in Fitzrovia, the gallery’s primary goal is to work with young and established artists from many latitudes to expand the dialogue between collectors, museums and curators towards a stronger inclusion and understanding of contemporary art. This understanding is often mediated through diasporic voices while bringing to light marginalised realities that have long been excluded from the history of art.
