Immerse yourself in visual storytelling by exceptional Sudanese photographers across different cities, countries, and continents. The exhibition will also offer guided tours, artist talks and panel discussions in a different dimension.

Established in 2023, the “Hub for Artists from Sudan” project supported a total of 63 Sudanese artists and cultural managers over the span of two years, as they continued their valuable work following their relocation across the region, due to the disruption of their spaces and networks in Sudan, amid the ongoing conflict. GoetheVRSum provided the 2024 hub artists in Cairo and Nairobi with the platform to virtually meet, reflect and share their experiences, as they live and work in similar industries, however across very different markets. It also was a great space where some of the 2023 hub artists joined the conversation and shared their wisdom, having started the journey a year ahead of them.

“The Hub for Artists from Sudan” project, established by Goethe-Institut in 2023, supports artists and cultural managers to continue their valuable work, following the disruption to their spaces and networks in Sudan, amid the ongoing conflict. Utilizing technology to bridge the gap caused by exile/ relocating, this year’s artists who are spread out between Egypt and Kenya, will use the platform to connect and reflect on their journeys and new experiences within the first hour. Following that, they will be joined by last year’s artists, currently based out of safer parts of Sudan, Egypt, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Tunisia, KSA and UAE; to gain further insights on life, career, and aspirations of artistic and cultural work in different locations and contexts.
