Featured as a composer in the book '250 Komponistinnen'
Book description:
"A musical journey of discovery into the unknown and the unheard of. Hardly any area of society and art is as attached to tradition as the world of classical music. Beethoven and Brahms, Mozart, Verdi and Wagner dominate the stages of concert and opera houses. But why do female composers hardly appear on the repertoires to this day? Arno Lücker has been studying the lives and music of female composers for many years. Most of them had to fight for the space to develop their creativity against numerous obstacles. He has brought together 250 female composers from all over the world and many centuries in this book. In sparkling short portraits he lets us immerse ourselves in the lives of the musicians. The question is always: What does this music that we don't yet know sound like? Arno Lücker opens our eyes and ears to the unheard of."

Review of 'Slacktide, Warbling' for full orchestra
"Slacktide, Warbling strikes me as a very neatly conceived whole, especially in terms of texture, and motivically cogent in its own way, too. Arafah has now moved on to the Royal Academy of Music, has started to receive commissions and is a finalist for the London Mozart Players’ Samuel Coleridge- Taylor Prize. We can clearly expect great things from her."

‘CONCRETE’ for solo oboe and audience featured in the book ' A year of Deep Listening'
"A Year of Deep Listening is a publication of 365 scores for listening gathered by the Center for Deep Listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros.
Originally begun online, in honor of what would have been Oliveros' 90th birthday (May 30, 2022), the project shared one score per day across social media for 365 days. The book version of A Year of Deep Listening brings these scores together into one beautiful and historic volume. An expression of the Deep Listening community, the scores were created by over 300 artists—ranging from prize winning composers to ear-minded grocery store clerks, from those who worked closely with Oliveros for decades to those who never met her."
