In today’s episode of The Farewell Land podcast, Afghan citizen journalist Khatera talks to Shabnam Ayam, a talented artist and psychologist from Bamyan, Afghanistan. Despite facing numerous challenges in her life, Shabnam has excelled in multiple fields.
She discovered her passion for art at the young age of eight. However, with the current situation in Afghanistan, where schools and universities remain closed, she has found alternative ways to continue learning and growing. She has expanded her skills beyond art and psychology—she has become a skilled writer and has also mastered traditional handcrafting, particularly sewing for women.
Now, with expertise in four different fields—art, psychology, writing, and handcrafting—Shabnam is a true example of resilience and determination.
