Welcome to Tupraq, a pivotal platform dedicated to the preservation and celebration of Uyghur literature. Launched by Tahir Imin Uyghurian in September 2024, Tupraq stands as a beacon for Uyghur cultural heritage, providing a vital space for the collection, dissemination, and discussion of Uyghur literary works.
In a time when Uyghur literature faces severe threats from repression and erasure in the homeland, Tupraq emerges as a crucial initiative to safeguard this rich tradition. The platform addresses the challenges faced by Uyghur writers and scholars, offering a comprehensive repository for works that have been confiscated or destroyed. Tupraq also serves as a dynamic forum for Uyghur authors in exile, allowing them to share their voices and contribute to the global literary landscape.
Our mission extends beyond mere preservation. Tupraq is committed to showcasing new and historical works, facilitating discussions on literary themes, and fostering cross-cultural exchanges through translation. By connecting the past, present, and future of Uyghur literature, Tupraq aims to bridge gaps, build a global community of readers and writers, and ensure that Uyghur literary heritage continues to thrive and inspire.
Join us on this journey to explore the depth and beauty of Uyghur literature, and to support the ongoing efforts to protect and promote this invaluable cultural legacy.
