Our Vision & Purpose

We believe in the power of art and education to foster solidarity and celebrate diversity within the global Iranian community.

We envision a world where a diverse global Iranian community stands in solidarity, drawing strength from our shared tapestry of Iranian culture and heritage. Together, we nurture cultural healing and growth within our community.

At the core of our vision lies a profound belief in the power of art and education to inspire transformative change. These cornerstones are not just theoretical concepts, but pragmatic tools capable of reshaping narratives, dismantling oppressive systems, and nurturing a more inclusive society.

Through strategic initiatives that champion artists, educators, and scholars, Nimruz is actively working to make this vision a reality.
