Second Generation Exhibition
This exhibition, curated by Dr Fathi Osman and Yafil Mubarak, is the fourth in Almas Art Foundation’s ongoing series dedicated to Sudan. Together, these exhibitions aim to present a nuanced and human image of Sudan—one grounded in artistic excellence, cultural richness, and enduring values. This mission is particularly vital amid the ongoing conflict that has devastated much of the country’s material culture.
By highlighting the long-standing contributions of Sudanese artists to modern African and global art, this series continues Almas Art Foundation’s commitment to preserving and celebrating Sudan’s artistic legacy for future generations.
Sudan: A Visual Art Narrative – Second Generation Exhibition showcases the works of the second generation of Sudan’s modern art movement, offering a comprehensive overview of their artistic contributions. Building upon the foundations laid by the pioneering first generation, these artists took Sudan’s modern art movement to new heights, exploring diverse styles, themes, and artistic approaches.
The selection of works reflects the challenging historical and social circumstances in which these artists practised, particularly during periods of instability and conflict that deeply affected Sudan and its people. Together, their works demonstrate resilience, innovation, and a continued commitment to cultural expression.
Almas Art Foundation, Arch 28, Old Union Yard Arches, 229 Union Street, London SE1 0LR until March 8, 2026. Admission Free.
