FEATURED WORK

Between Silence and Return

On the morning of September 21, 2026 — the International Day of Peace — Kimia and Anosha Zereh will open this book together, to the world, and place it into your hands. This is an invitation to join us.

Between Silence and Return is the first volume of an ongoing dialogue between an Afghan artist and an Afghan writer. Fifteen art pieces. Fifteen reflections. Three movements — Departure, Distance, Return — and one long contemplation on what it means to leave a country, a body, or a self behind, and to keep living.

Reader's Reviews

"Anosha has done a great job in eloquently expressing the fearless voices of the Afghan women with their unique dimensions, aspirations, and feelings about many aspects of human conditions. Her approach stands in sharp contrast with the camouflaged and stereotypical representation of the Afghan women by the western media."
