Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is a non-profit art institution and registered educational charity that operates purely for the public benefit. Founded in 2004 by art historian and curator Dr. Ziba Ardalan, the foundation presents exhibitions and artistic projects by international contemporary artists. Since March 2020, the foundation has repositioned its activities in favor of an international modus operandi, which means organizing exhibitions and projects around the world as well as in Great Britain.
It remains committed to supporting contemporary artists through exhibitions and producing international artistic projects for the public without the restrictions of a permanent gallery space.
