The World of Iranian Images in foreigners' eyes
Interpretation of all prejudgments and images that cultures hold in regard to each other is indeed a difficult task. One of the characteristic features of our time is the flood of media images which leave a determining impression on social relations as well as our presentation of images, whether of ourselves or others...

Contemporary graphic design of Iran
Contemporary graphic design of Iran has no homogeneous structure. On one side, there is a very large domain, which deals with service of public information. On the other side, a type of graphic design has developed which is very personal, apt for exhibitions and noted by all. In my view, contemporary graphic design of Iran is the entire range of all graphic design activities in the Iranian territory....

Tavoos' Choice / Farhad Moshiri
It is years now that Farhad Moshiri, the Iranian painter and installation artist is a known figure on an international scale. General reception of art critics as well as his successive achievements in international art auctions outside Iran are the main factors which helped him reach such an exceptional fame and esteem. However in his home country, his presence has not been felt as much.
