Our Mission

Why we
exist

Freedom has been taken from everyone in Iran — women, men, the young. We fund the art that refuses to let it be forgotten.

The aspiration behind Artivism 4 Iran is to establish a sustainable and inclusive platform for human rights advocacy. Through the power of protest art, the initiative creates a space to express, honour, remember, and strengthen the ongoing pursuit of freedom, dignity, and justice for all Iranians.

Equality

Awareness of the rights taken from ordinary people across Iran.

Courage

Celebrating those who spoke up — and turning it into art.

Memory

Keeping the names of the fallen alive, spoken and painted.

The Arts

Teaching art to immigrant and refugee youth in Canada.
