On April 16, the NYKCC had the honor of hosting Burhan Sönmez, president of PEN International and a distinguished Kurdish author originally from Central Anatolia. The book talk took place at the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung’s New York Office.

With his captivating storytelling, Sönmez filled the evening with inspiration and insight. His thought-provoking presentation touched on themes of Kurdish literature, freedom of expression, and the power of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the world. A heartfelt thanks you to everyone who joined us for this enriching conversation!
