New partnership with Aria Residency in Tehran
Helikon Art Center signed a partnership agreement with Aria Residency in Iran. In this context, two art initiatives will exchange creative ideas, launch exchange programs for artists and organize joint art residencies.
Aria Residency is a not-for-profit space which provides artists, curators, writers, and researchers the opportunity to live and create work in Tehran. By providing the accommodation and studio for Iranian and international residents, Aria aims to extend the mobility inside the country and outside and engage the local artists with the non-Iranian ones for a specific period of time.
