PodMehr Foundation is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving Iranian cultural heritage and advancing freedom of artistic expression.

Founded by artists and cultural producers, PodMehr creates and supports theater, film, music, educational programs, and cultural experiences that explore identity, memory, history, and the human experience.

Through original productions and community-centered programs, PodMehr provides a platform for Iranian and Iranian diaspora artists, amplifies underrepresented voices, and brings stories rooted in Iranian culture into conversation with audiences across generations and communities.

At the heart of PodMehr’s work is a simple belief: art keeps cultural memory alive—and creates space for stories that deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.
