Georgetown University in Qatar hosted “Seeing Sudan: Politics Through Art,” a three-day conference showcasing the Sudanese people’s resilience and creativity. Musicians, writers and activists highlighted the enduring cultural identity of the country. Singer Alsarah blended traditional sounds with modern protest music, while political cartoonist Khalid Albaih used satire to spotlight injustice. Food archivist Omer Al Tijani documented culinary heritage, and designer Mohammed “Simba” Elmur explored regional costume traditions. Together, these works amplify silenced voices and demonstrate how art, food and fashion can sustain identity even during war, conflict and displacement.
