Seeing Sudan: Politics Through Art conference and Sudan Retold Exhbition at Alhosh Gallery, Doha

The Seeing Sudan: Politics Through Art conference, held from 18–20 September 2025 at Georgetown University in Qatar, captured significant attention from media outlets around the world. As Sudan faces one of its most devastating humanitarian and cultural crises, the conference brought together artists, curators, scholars, and policymakers to explore how art can bear witness to conflict and preserve collective memory.

International and regional media highlighted the conference’s pioneering approach, describing it as “a landmark cultural intervention that reframes Sudan through the lens of art and resilience.” Below is a selection of the official media coverage from diverse outlets worldwide.
