FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Ayaz Shah on storytelling, culture and challenging expectations
Join us for a special Food for Thought evening with Ayaz Shah, a Danish-Pashtun writer and trained actor based in Copenhagen.
How do culture and language shape the stories we tell? And how can art challenge stereotypes and open up new perspectives?
Ayaz Shah is the author of La Victoria (Wadskjær Forlag, 2024), a debut novel set in a small Venezuelan town that explores mental illness, toxic masculinity, and the tension between myth and reality. At Food for Thought, Ayaz will share his reflections on storytelling, cultural identity, and the freedom to tell stories beyond society’s expectations. His novel was recently adapted for the stage at H2O in Copenhagen, where he also performed.
The evening offers stories, community and conversation – alongside a communal dinner by Send Flere Krydderier, included in the ticket price.
The event is organised by Crossing Borders, a non-profit civil society organisation that educates and engages young people to become active global citizens.
