Each month, we publish our digital QAMI JAN magazine. There is no other publication like ours, because this one speaks directly to you and your experiences and also lets you open your hearts to each other. (Download our complimentary debut issue to see what we mean.)
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 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.

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.
