About the Magazine:

We tackle tough topics that usually get algorithmically demoted by most social media and e-commerce platforms. But these are conversations that people want to have. Topics such as thousand-year-old cultural traditions, healing intergenerational trauma, indigenous liberation and strained national identity, and how to believe in a future when the present is so uncertain. And somehow, we manage to do it in the most visually stunning way, where you are left feeling 1) empowered with new knowledge and 2) imbued with the pride of your existence. Yes, our continued existence is a miracle. And it's a beautiful one.

If you made it to this page, in spite of everything working against us, it's for a reason. Thank you for finding us. 

What to expect:

Stunning photos of the Armenian Highlands, conversations that aren't always easy but are necessary, articles and interviews that make you feel connected to the spirit of the Armenian Highlands and each other. In addition to our articles, each month's issue contains our discount codes for 10% off the QAMI JAN shop, and we provide other exclusive offers (such as complimentary tickets to events in the NYC area and online events)--meaning your subscription more than pays for itself.

We promise each issue will make you feel something. If not, we will refund your money. 


About the January Issue:

Issue No. 17 | The Tower of Babel

Yelena Ambartsumian explains the history of the Zeytun Gospels, the canon tables of which are housed at the Getty Villa, the site of the recent Palisades fire. Then, we interview Maria Sarkisian, founder and executive director of the non-profit Miaseen, who continues her family legacy of service to the homeland. At a time when attention is diverted from Armenia and its security, Miaseen is doubling down on the most vulnerable border regions, and investing in a hub in Kapan. Next, we interview Lilly Torosyan, a prolific writer (one of our favorites) and the new editor of the Armenian Weekly. Lilly shares with us her travels through Western Armenia, coming within meters of her mother's ancestral village. The trip was "the most contradictory, heart-wrenching, and dis-orienting experience I could describe." But it forever changed her. Finally, we end with the Learn for Artsakh Initiative's translation of In Solitude: How My Cries Can Reach the Next Generation by Leonid Karakhanovich Hurunts.

From our readers:

I feel so moved reading the magazine. I've shared it with my entire family, and we all get excited each time a new issue comes out.

—North Carolina, USA

QAMI JAN makes me feel seen. I can't think of another space where I feel such a sense of hope and belonging.

—Montreal, Canada

I read a lot of other Armenian-centric publications, but I really feel that this is quite different. I appreciate the nuanced discourse from QAMI JAN Magazine.

—Connecticut, USA

The magazine is really unique. I can’t think of anything like it. It connects with my needs - in terms of what I’m looking for. In terms of insights, perspectives on the situations that we deal with and encounter as Armenians. I am developing a stronger connection with Armenian culture and my Armenian heritage, and also learning about new ways to cope with intergenerational trauma.

—Washington D.C., USA

OUR STORY

The Armenian people, worldwide, are in a state of despair. 100 years after the Armenian Genocide, we saw that the loss of our people, homeland, and culture has not ended, most recently with the violent uprooting of Artsakh. We founded QAMI JAN in 2022 to uplift your spirit, to create a renewed sense of hope and resistance. We do this by focusing on our ancient culture and supporting local artisans. We are not relics. We are very much alive. And we will return.

Please join us in sharing the QAMI JAN spirit.
