Raykamah Iranian Cultural and Artistic Institute
We have started this foundation to turn our big ideas into an artistic reality.
Our Story
Rayka Foundation was established in 2015 by Mina Pouyandeh with the aim of
promoting and educating young people interested in art and social activities. With
the passage of time, these activities continued with the cooperation of Atefeh
Farhangikia with Rayka foundation in the form of documenting activities and
holding seminars. Since advertising is one of the special services of the collection,
Hossein Farhangikia joined this foundation with 25 years of experience in
management and advertising.
Our mission and goal
We have started the foundation to bring artistic thoughts into reality in pieces of art while producing influential films to reserve a place in the history of Iran. In addition, we aimed to empower talents and create opportunities for our younger generation to flourish their abilities and interests in photography, advertising, digital marketing, and filmmaking activities. We aim to promote the cultural and sociological perspective in society, considering education as a crucial part of this intention.
Atefeh Farhangi Kia
A PhD student in Physics, Atefeh started her professional photography career in 2012, performing professional documentary photography as she had always been enthusiastic about showcasing the lives of groups of people in the Iranian society who have been separated or systematically ignored by the majority of the public. She has been teaching science and photography for more than 6 years, collaborating with several foundations and institutions. Within the last 3 years, Rayka® has released 4 documentary films produced by Atefeh regarding Afghan women, Iranian Down Syndrome and Psychiatric societies, and a success story from an outstanding Iranian civil engineer/entrepreneur Mr Otarodian.
