Iraq’s Kurdish cultural scene gains new energy as Dengara magazine returns after a long 27-year break. The relaunch of this historic publication marks a powerful moment for Kurdish literature and thought. The third issue is now in circulation, signaling a fresh chapter in its journey.
Azad Hamedemin, the magazine’s editor, spoke proudly about the revival. He believes that print media still carries deep intellectual value. Even in the age of digital content, Dengara hopes to inspire deep thinking and cultural reflection. According to Hamedemin, books and magazines provide a lasting impact that digital platforms cannot fully replace.
The Dengara magazine relaunch event will take place in Erbil. The event will bring together writers, artists, students, and cultural leaders from across the Kurdistan Region. Organizers also hope to connect with Kurdish readers living abroad. By doing so, Dengara aims to strengthen links between local and diaspora communities.
The return of Dengara magazine reflects growing interest in cultural preservation and literary expression. Many Kurdish intellectuals see this as a vital platform for promoting new voices and critical debate. The magazine’s team promises to publish content that explores art, politics, identity, and language with fresh perspectives.
Despite long years of silence, Dengara’s legacy still lives in the minds of older readers. Now, the new issue targets a broader audience that includes young people eager to engage with Kurdish culture. Through thoughtful essays and creative writing, the magazine plans to offer a space for dialogue and discovery.
The editorial team believes the magazine can help rebuild a cultural bridge across generations. In an era dominated by fast content, Dengara chooses reflection over speed. This approach may draw readers who seek deeper engagement with the world around them.
Furthermore, the magazine hopes to shine a light on issues facing Kurdish society today. From migration to environmental challenges, each issue will focus on meaningful topics. The team invites writers from all backgrounds to contribute and build a shared future for Kurdish literature.
Dengara magazine’s return proves that ideas can survive across decades. With renewed passion and support, the team wants to ensure the magazine continues to grow. Readers can now rediscover a publication that values depth, identity, and the power of written thought.
