Ava Gallery in MOJEH Magazine

Talaar, on the other hand, draws from Ayoubi’s Tehran-based Bavan Gallery, which she founded in 2018 in downtown Tehran. In 2024, Ayoubi expanded to Dubai, operating under two banners: Ava Gallery, an international expansion of Bavan focusing on contemporary Iranian art, including emerging and established artists, and Talaar, dedicated to art and

collectible design in dialogue. In Farsi, the word Talaar means a hall for gatherings or a meeting point, and that’s what Ayoubi wanted the platform to signify for artists and collectors. “In Dubai

I found my second home,” she says.
