Promoting Kurdish culture from all parts of KURDISTAN

The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, established in 2017, seeks to nurture and showcase Kurdish contributions to the visual and performing arts, cinema, and literature in the New York area. By creating venues for exhibitions and performances, it further aims to foster community among the region’s Kurds and to build bridges with non-Kurdish communities.
