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.

The Persian Magazine was founded in 2020 by Ali Gandomi, a young Iranian creative director based in Tehran, who consistently tries to introduce talented Iranians by drawing inspiration from the culture of youth and the modern world. TPM has attracted an attentive audience and filled the void for an Iranian art magazine that freely engages with independent artists. TPM tries to remain steadfast and take steps toward its aims with a heart full of inspiration.

We actively seek participation, collaboration, sponsorship, and like-minded supporters who align with our perspectives. Our goal is to grow a platform for talented and aspiring artists, providing a source for audiences worldwide to discover unique Iranian art and artists.

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