About Us

The Persian Magazine is an art magazine that focuses on Iranian culture and avant-garde arts, especially music, photography, fashion, and youth culture. It serves as a platform for Iranians to be seen and heard on a global scale.

TPM tries to remain steadfast and take steps toward its aims with a heart full of inspiration.

We believe that by supporting the vision and awareness of the Iranian Z-Generation, we can witness their brilliance shine in the global community.
