About the December Issue:

Issue No. 16 | Destroyed by a Flood

Yelena Ambartsumian reflects on a conversation with Alisa Petrosova, a multi-disciplinary artist and climate storyteller. Then, we interview Aroussiak Gabrielian, a futurist, media artist, and director of the Landscape Futures Lab at the USC School of Architecture. Gabrielian's work suggests new forms of environmental existence, which will require humans to confront the myth of our exceptionalism. This issue also includes an article by Sargis Petrosyan, titled "Architects of Amnesia: Revisiting Yerevan's Lost Symbols of Statement," which discusses the degradation and erasure of historic buildings that once served as symbols of sovereignty and resistance. 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.

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

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.
