Sudan Retold (2025)

– Edited by Khalid Albaih, Larissa Diana-Fuhrmann, and Suzi Mirghani
– Published by Almas Art Foundation in collaboration with Georgetown University in Qatar

Sudan Retold is part of a long-term artistic project that began a decade ago, bringing together artists, writers, curators, and cultural workers responding to a Sudan shaped by many cultures, religions, languages, and histories—yet often pushed into a single, linear narrative. What began as an effort to tell Sudanese (his)stories differently has become a way of holding on to memory and place when both are under threat. The book (and related physical art exhibition) draws on personal archives, oral histories, forgotten objects, and speculative figures—not to reconstruct a singular past, but to open space for layered, plural understandings of Sudan. 

This publication and related art exhibition was part of the GU-Q Hiwaraat conference on Seeing Sudan: Politics Through Art (September 18-20, 2025).
