About the Magazine:

The common "wisdom" from late stage capitalists is that magazines are NOT profitable, and for a brand to put out a magazine each month that doesn't even promote the brand's products is just foolish. Ha! And yet, the readership for QAMI JAN Digital Magazine keeps GROWING. With each issue, we receive feedback such as, "I was crying," "I felt so seen," "I haven't experienced anything like this." 

That's because we tackle tough topics that usually get algorithmically DEmoted by most social media and e-commerce platforms. Topics such as thousand-year-old cultural traditions, genocide, healing intergenerational trauma, indigenous liberation and strained national identity. 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.

It is not easy to put out this type of magazine. Nearly each day, there is a new "obstacle." Heck, Google Ads flagged us for a policy violation for having a photo of Dadivank Monastery in Artsakh (flagged as "violence and dangerous organizations.") Yes, Armenians sitting on their indigenous land is threatening--to some. Let's unpack that.

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 May Issue: 

Issue No. 10 | Over Every Creeping Thing

We release this Issue 10 of QAMI JAN Magazine as hundreds of people, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, culminate their walk from northern Tavush region in Armenia towards Yerevan’s Republic Square. Since Saturday, they have walked nearly 100 miles. Composed of everyday people, men and women, children, interspersed with a few soldiers in ragged uniforms, they press on in a spiritual tide. Once they reach Armenia’s capital, they will make their plans and demands known. For now, we know that they oppose the Armenian government’s decision to gift neighboring Azerbaijan with four villages in Tavush—a unilateral concession that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated is “a security guarantee” that will “delegitimize the war, to deprive the war of any basis.” In other words, Armenian territory, entire homes and villages, are the flowers of J.G. Ballard's short-story “The Garden of Time” (the theme of this year's Met Gala)—pluck them, and we will delay Azerbaijan’s resorting to military escalation. 

In this issue, we are honored to have interviewed Patricia Kaishian, a museum scientist, mycologist, and writer. She speaks with us about lichens, fungi, unexpected but ever-present ways of relating to our world, and what happens when "the people who deeply love the land and who steward the land are violently removed and replaced with people willing to act so destructively . . . everyone (including non-human species) suffers." We also speak with Hamed Khadem, a botanist and horticulturalist living in Armenia. He explains to us the importance of the microbiome in the soil, its impact on trees, and what he has observed about agricultural practices in Armenia. And yes, we of course asked him about the Yerevan Municipality's controversial decision to cut down numerous diseased trees, last month, which provided much-needed shade during the hot summer days.
