Durkhanai Ayubi is an Afghan-born writer whose body of work seeks to reclaim the stories of her motherland, explore the experience of displacement, and interrogate the limitations embedded within normalised notions of justice and power. Her book Parwana: Recipes and Stories from an Afghan Kitchen received global acclaim, winning international awards including from the Food Writers Guild and the Art of Eating. She has been featured in national and global media, spanning TV, print, podcasts and radio, including in The New York Times, Al Jazeera, The Washington Post and beyond. She has worked extensively in the arts, including contributing to the curation of national literary festivals. She is a Lifelong Fellow of the Atlantic Institute, a social justice-focused organisation based at Oxford University. Here, her work takes on global dimensions, with her research creating frameworks for transformative justice with narrative reclamation at its heart. Her next book, She Who Tastes, Knows, is forthcoming. It asks, through a lens of food and peering into the unseen, what more is possible when stories and histories are returned to a people.
