My name is Armeghan, and I founded this magazine and platform, though not intentionally, not in the traditional sense. I was looking for people who felt like me. The magazine and the projects became a response and resistance to disconnection, to rupture, to the pervasive sense of isolation that our world imposes. It was created with a solidarity narrative in mind, rejecting the illusion of separateness, borders and an order which favors death over life asking us to surrender to an ambiguous humanness. So it's an attempt at an emancipatory ground, one that invites different international liberation struggles and stories to exist relational, raw, and vulnerable. A way to collectively mobilize our imagination through complexity and creative expression beyond the confines of what art is supposed to be and what it can do. In 2024 Afghan Punk City emerged - an art project for young Afghan adults in Berlin (re)mapping ourselves in Berlin through embodied ways of finding trust and anchoring. In 2026 Afghan Punk and ROSHĀ e.V. collaborate to bring Sarkash سرکش Underground festival to life, a platform for diaspora hip-hop, rap, trap, and experimental sounds from Afghanistan, Balochistan, and Kashmir.
