Sounds of Resistance: Art and Displacement in Sudan
Art and culture in times of war and displacement: Sudan’s ongoing political instability has forced millions of people — including countless cultural workers and artists — to flee their homes. At the same time, new artistic networks and forms of solidarity are emerging across borders. Sudanese artists combine political rap with regional sounds to address social change, resistance, and collective memory. Sybille Straubinger speaks with Sudanese artist Hiba Elgizouli, artist in residence at the cultural department of VIDC, about war, displacement, and the power of artistic cooperation.
