An independent publishing imprint dedicated to thoughtful books at the intersection of art, photography, memory, and culture.
Anar Editions publishes carefully made books that privilege attention, slowness, and clarity of thought. We work closely with artists, writers, and photographers to develop projects that sit outside trends and resist easy categorisation.
Anar Editions publishes carefully made books that value attention, slowness and clarity of thought. Working closely with artists, writers and photographers, we develop projects that sit outside trends and resist easy categorisation. The imprint takes its name from anar, the Persian word for pomegranate, a fruit associated with labour, multiplicity and depth. Composed of many seeds, each complete yet part of a whole, it reflects our approach to publishing. Anar Editions is a space for work that values process as much as outcome and for books that reward sustained engagement rather than immediate consumption.
New title in development.
The Boy on the Peacock Throne
A small catalogue of limited and open editions, produced with care.
Selected partnerships with institutions, artists, and cultural platforms.
The name Anar pomegranate suggests multiplicity, memory, and shared origins. Our publishing approach values what is framed and what remains outside the frame, allowing space for ambiguity and reflection.
