Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon-based and describing itself as "an international charitable foundation with cultural, educational, social and scientific interests", has had a UK Branch since 1956. Its London home is on Hoxton Square in Hackney, where it moved from Portland Place: the ground and first floors of an existing building, opened up by Theis and Khan with a rooflight that lets daylight down into an open gallery ringed by glass-partitioned rooms.

The branch makes grants across the arts, civil society and climate, with a focus on exchange between countries. Film screenings in the building are put on by the partner organisations it hosts there.
