Shiva Zahed Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, dedicated to presenting leading and emerging contemporary artists whose practices are shaped by Iranian perspectives and engage with the broader discourse of contemporary art.
Situated at the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East, the gallery serves as a platform for dialogue between Iranian, Turkish, and international artists, fostering meaningful exchange across cultures, ideas, and artistic practices. Rather than framing Iranian art through a regional lens, Shiva Zahed Gallery positions it as an essential and dynamic voice within the global contemporary art landscape.
Committed to expanding the international visibility of artists whose work has received limited global exposure despite their artistic significance, the gallery fosters long-term collaborations with artists, curators, and institutions through a thoughtfully curated exhibition programme. By creating opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue and exchange, Shiva Zahed Gallery seeks to contribute to a more inclusive, interconnected, and forward-looking contemporary art discourse.
