Third edition of the Kurdistan Colouring Book

During 2025, Gulan produced a third edition of its popular Kurdistan Colouring Book for children. The first edition, produced in 2022, had featured photographs of iconic landmarks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. A second edition, produced in 2024, focused on the work of Kurdish artists who had previously featured in exhibitions organised by Gulan.

This third edition of the Colouring Book focussed on historical stories, myths and legends from Kurdistan. It combined artworks depicting each story, combined with line drawings produced by Mariwan Jalal, and texts in Kurdish and English describing the story’s key elements.

The new Kurdistan Colouring Book has been made possible by a generous donation from an anonymous philanthropist, and will be printed in early 2026 by the Kurdistan Chronicle magazine.
