About

In Sudan, a war too often ignored has torn apart lives, crippled institutions, and forced more than thirteen million people from their homes. A humanitarian crisis ravages the present and threatens both past and future, jeopardizing a rich cultural legacy. SEEING SUDAN: POLITICS THROUGH ART will convene a historic gathering of academics, artists, and activists to examine the relationship between sociopolitical dynamics and cultural production. This conference, the tenth installment of Georgetown University in Qatar’s acclaimed Hiwaraat series, will generate critical insights into Sudanese creativity and resilience in the face of violence and displacement.
