Reclaiming Our Commons: A Proposal for Cultural Collaboration Across the Arab Region

Sudan Art Archive
Visual arts in Sudan are marked by a wide variety of productions, both historically and in the present, and art was never separate from social movements, as Sudanese artists initiated discussions about their schools and artistic thinking, resulting in diverse and rich visual presentations. This thought and the discussions surrounding it gave rise to multiple generations of modern art schools represented by the College of Fine Arts in Sudan, which may be considered one of the most important modern art institutions in the Arab region and Africa. Despite this heritage, there is no common archive for these works or a specific category for visual arts in their various aspects. As such, the Sudan Art Archive project aims to establish a digital archive to protect Sudanese artistic heritage by covering 50 years of artistic creativity and documenting artworks, artists’ lives, and artistic institutions that have been active for over half a century of Sudan’s history.
