Sudan's artists face challenges due to ongoing civil war

The civil war in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has severely impacted the country's art scene, previously experiencing growth. Many galleries and institutions in Khartoum have been destroyed, leading to the loss of thousands of artworks. Exiled artists like Rashid Diab and Yasmeen Abdullah are now working to preserve Sudan's cultural memory. They express their experiences through art, despite the challenges of displacement and loss, aiming to reflect their identity and resilience. As the conflict continues, Sudanese artists in exile strive to showcase their culture and creativity. They emphasize that Sudan is more than its current turmoil, highlighting the importance of art in representing their nation's spirit.
