About Us

The mission of Tawahan is to give up-and-coming, Arab voices a platform to share their thoughts and artistic achievements.  As such, we will accept contributions in Arabic and English and within the broadly defined realms of Arts and Philosophy.

For Tawahan, Arts is not merely visual arts, poetry, and prose. Anything that can reasonably be construed as art is welcome.

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 the people. 

We at Tawahan are committed to the exchange of ideas, anti-censorship, and especially work that is challenging, unusual, and experimental. We also particularly enjoy work that is satiric, sardonic, and biting.

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.
