Tawahan

About

The mission of Tawahan is to give up-and-coming, Arab voices a platform to share their thoughts and artistic achievements, whether in Arabic or in English.

For Tawahan, Arts is not merely visual arts, poetry, or prose. We welcome experimentation, the novel, and the new.

Philosophy refers more to the Arabic use of the term falsafeh than strict philosophy. Anything from philosophical writings, general musings about life, sociology, to politics is welcome. We aim to create an outlet for our thoughts as Arabs.

We at Tawahan are committed to the exchange of ideas, anti-censorship, and especially work that is challenging, unusual, and experimental. Additionally, we only accept work from authors who identify as Arab or live in the Arab world (broadly defined). This does not mean that the work must be in any way related to being Arab, Arab identity, or anything of that sort, merely that this magazine is made by Arabs, for Arabs.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to people who live in the Arab world or who identify as Arabs.
