Tupraq: A Platform for the Survival and Flourishing of Global Uyghur Literature
Dear Literature Enthusiasts,
Welcome to Tupraq — a new digital home for Uyghur literature, launched at www.tupraq.com. This platform opens a vital chapter in the global preservation, promotion, and development of Uyghur literary heritage.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to bring Uyghur literature to the world stage, ensure its survival, and support its growth across generations and geographies.
Our Core Goals:
- Preserve Uyghur Literature: Safeguard precious literary works at risk of being lost under ongoing repression in the Uyghur homeland.
- Empower Diaspora Writers: Offer a welcoming space for Uyghur writers abroad to publish and share their voices freely.
- Create a Literary Forum: Foster dialogue, translation, and collaboration among readers, writers, and scholars.
- Introduce Global Literature: Translate renowned global literary works into Uyghur, enriching the literary horizon of our readers.
- Revive Forgotten Authors: Reintroduce overlooked Uyghur writers and their contributions to the literary world.
- Honor Literary Giants at Home: Promote and disseminate the works of celebrated poets and writers from the homeland.
- Support Uyghur Writers Worldwide: Connect diaspora authors with a global readership and encourage the creation of new works.
- Defend Silenced Voices: Protect and amplify the works of imprisoned or persecuted writers while advocating for their freedom.
Tupraq is more than just a website — it’s a bridge linking past, present, and future generations of Uyghur writers and readers. It breaks through the barriers of geography, censorship, and time.
We warmly invite you to explore Tupraq, immerse yourself in the richness of Uyghur literature, and become part of this growing literary movement. Let’s build a future where Uyghur voices continue to be heard and celebrated.
Together, let’s nurture the soil where Uyghur literature can flourish.
