NANSEN Magazine aims to connect and celebrate migrants of all kinds.

Nansen is a magazine about migrants of all kinds. Each issue focuses on one migrant, honing in on the minutiae of lives lived away from home – moments all migrants can relate to, and many non-migrants too.

As a result, each issue Nansen adopts a new voice and point of view, slightly adapting to better reflect the personality, energy and experiences of the migrant it gives voice to. Each issue makes use of a new typeface, from cover logo to headlines, focusing on the individuality of its interviewee. It is constant exercise in finding the fine balance between completely reinventing itself and staying faithful to its identity.

MUZHGAN SAMARQANDI: The Reed Flute’s Friend

With this issue, we travel to Aotearoa New Zealand to meet Muzhgan Samarqandi, an Afghanistani broadcaster and mother who is making her home with her young family in this country.

She tells her own story, in her own words, one where Kiwis tell her to shut up and be grateful or go home, of being stereotyped as a mail-order bride, and of the connection she has found with Māori people, a relationship that reaches outside Western notions of who is welcome to live where.

Muzhgan recalls her family’s migration history, one that began 800 years ago in the time of Ghengis Khan. Her writing is exacting and compassionate, and there’s plenty of joy, too.
