Community :
Soo Community is an initiative by Soo Contemporary defined as the gallery’s outreach into art forms and practices that are not conventionally not hosted or presented by artistic institutions. From Tehran’s vibrant graffiti and street art scene, to underground music, performances, acts, and experimental architecture, Soo Community brings together a set of artists that would not otherwise be part of a gallery’s program. Nevertheless, as the programming at Soo Contemporary has been heavily inspired by such sub-cultures and micro-cultures, presenting such projects has been a key objective of Soo since the very beginning. Soo Community is an effort in this direction, aimed at contextualizing such genres and establishing a unique set of events and projects that are independent from the gallery’s main exhibitions.
The first series of Soo Community programing includes Seven projects. Three of these projects have been undertaken and the remaining two are scheduled for the future.
