The Tirafkan Cultural Foundation (TCF) was founded in the summer of 2013 to continue Sadegh Tirafkan’s legacy of supporting, developing, and giving a voice to artists in Iran. Regardless of the artist’s socio-political views, the foundation creates a platform that allows artists to be heard.
The TCF’s emphasis on photography and visual arts is evidenced by the sections of its building that are dedicated to archives, studios, and a theatre. The TCF hosts various events including workshops and galleries that showcase art from Sadegh Tirafkan from both inside and outside of Iran.
