Uyghur Anthology
Under the Mulberry Tree: The Contemporary Uyghur Anthology
The Contemporary Uyghur Anthology is a collection of Uyghur reflections in diaspora. Weaving together memories of the homeland, experiences of displacement, and transitions of identities, this anthology is a creative reflection of the beauty and complexities of the Uyghur experience.
Our Canvas
An online exhibition dedicated to showcasing the brilliant art, music and literature produced by our own Tarim Network community.
Please let us know if you would like to contribute to this project by being featured or by developing a piece on a new artist.
Standard Uyghur Curriculum
Initially begun to create a comprehensive and standardised Uyghur language curriculum tailored for Uyghur children in the diaspora. However, due to changing demands from the community, we are restructuring our approach to providing language learning materials for the same audience! Please contact us if you would like to provide support.
History Course
[Online] [English]
A 10-week course briefly covering major time periods in Uyghur history. Classes are discussion-based and informed by weekly readings outlined in the syllabus.

Uyghur Exchange
One of our first initiatives; an online project that allowed people at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels practice their Uyghur language skills with each other and a moderator.
Tarim Connect
A mini project borne from Covid lock-downs. We created five group chats of 15-20 people each so that Uyghur youth across the globe could connect
