The History and Future of Sudan
Almas Art Foundation presents Sudan Retold, a landmark exhibition and publication a decade in the making. What began as an effort to tell Sudanese (his)stories differently has evolved into a powerful act of cultural preservation – at a time when both memory and place are under threat.
Drawing on personal archives, oral histories, forgotten objects, and speculative figures, the exhibition and accompanying book invites visitors to explore rich multifaceted stories of Sudan – shaped by many cultures, religions, languages, and histories – yet often reduced to a singular, linear narrative. Sudan Retold has been curated by: Khalid Albaih, Larissa-Diana Fuhrmann and Rahiem Shadad. The exhibition presents a compelling journey through photography, painting, and multimedia installations.
Participating artists include Ahmed Abushakeema, Atong Atem, Ayat R. H. Ahmed, Bokhari Hamid, Dar Al Naim, Elamin Gasim, Husam Kabri, Khalid Abdel Rahman, Nadi Abunama-Elgadi, Reem Aljeally, Reham Mohamed, Sahar Abdalla, Waleed Mohammad, Yasir Faiz and Yasmeen Abdullah Ahmed.
