Who is Rûken Rohat
Rûken Rohat creates books that celebrate Kurdish life, memory, and imagination. Her work is rooted in the stories she grew up with, the food shared at family tables, and the symbols found in everyday traditions. Through drawing and writing, she invites readers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect; with culture, with history, and with themselves.
Through both drawing and writing, Rûken invites her readers to slow down and truly notice the beauty in ordinary moments. Her art captures the texture of Kurdish landscapes and the warmth of communal life, while her words echo the wisdom, resilience, and hope passed down through generations. Each book becomes not just a creative project but a bridge between past and present, an invitation to reflect, remember, and reconnect with culture, with history, and with oneself.
By sharing pieces of her heritage, Rûken hopes to nurture curiosity, pride, and a sense of belonging, not only for those from the Kurdish community but for anyone seeking meaning, creativity, and connection in their everyday life.
