Kashkul is the Center for Arts and Culture at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani.
Kashkul brings together Kurdish, Iraqi, and international scholars to study, create, preserve, and translate culture.
Founded in 2016, Kashkul works at the nexus of cultural creation and preservation, believing them to be intrinsically linked. While present emphases include oral history collection, amplification of existing regional preservation efforts, and literary translation, Kashkul has a storied history of curating groundbreaking arts exhibitions, hosting local and international artists, and facilitating a robust slate of events at the university and beyond.

Our projects originate with emerging and established regional scholars, artists, and translators whose efforts international scholars support and amplify. Collaboration defines the Kashkul approach.
