Weiter Schreiben Magazine

In October 2022, Weiter Schreiben released the fourth edition of their annual magazine, which showcases work from Untold’s Paranda programme and includes interviews with its writers. The magazine celebrates the voices of Afghan women authors who tell stories of oppression, violence, and exile but also of sisterhood, silver high heels and the power of words.

To celebrate its publication, Untold writers Batool Haidari, Naeema, and Marie Bamyani, and director Lucy Hannah joined Weiter Schreiben for a live event, hosted by supporter, KfW Stiftung in Villa 102, Frankfurt on 17 October 2022. The event was delivered in in English and German, with simultaneous translation in Dari.
