The Heritage Room was founded by Niloufar, whose lifelong passion for art, culture, and community gave shape to a vision larger than herself — a space where creativity could cross borders and stories could find new life.
A graduate of Project Management from the University of Sydney, Niloufar combined her professional knowledge with a deep appreciation for Iranian art and craftsmanship. For years, she painted and explored creative projects alongside her studies, but her journey truly began when she started supporting independent Iranian artists and small businesses. She began curating intimate pop-ups and private showcases in Sydney, introducing clothing, accessories, and home décor crafted by Iranian artisans. What began as small exhibitions evolved into cultural gatherings that connected people through art and storytelling, inspiring Niloufar to create a bridge between Iranian and Australian creatives.
