Nargis

The real name of the author, who lives in Kabul, is known to the editors. For security reasons, she publishes under a pseudonym. Nargis is part of the women writers' network “Untold – Afghanistan”, a support programme for women writers in crisis and conflict areas led by Lucy Hannah and based in London.

One of Nargis’ short stories was published anonymously in the collection “My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird: New Fiction by Afghan Women” (2022, MacLehose Press).

KULTURAUSTAUSCH is the magazine for international perspectives. It is published quarterly and presents international cultural relations from fresh perspectives. We focus on people and regions that rarely feature in the German debate.

Renowned authors such as Serhij Zhadan, Fatou Diome, Liao Yiwu, Ibram X. Kendi or Gioconda Belli have their say, as do other voices from around the globe from Afghan women doctors to mine workers in Congo to racing drivers from Qatar.

KULTURAUSTAUSCH stands for diversity and close-up journalism. Published by ifa – Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations in partnership with ConBrio Verlag.
