Sudan Retold

Almas Art Foundation is delighted to present Sudan Retold, a landmark exhibition and publication a decade in the making. What began as an effort to tell Sudanese (his)stories differently has evolved into a powerful act of cultural preservation - at a time when both memory and place are under threat. 

Drawing on personal archives, oral histories, forgotten objects, and speculative figures, the exhibition and accompanying publication invites visitors to explore rich multifaceted stories of Sudan - shaped by many cultures, religions, languages, and histories - yet often reduced to a singular, linear narrative. Sudan Retold has been curated by: Khalid Albaih, Larissa-Diana Fuhrmann and Rahiem Shadad. The exhibition presents a compelling journey through photography, painting, and multimedia installations.

Participating artists include Ahmed Abushakeema, Atong Atem, Ayat R. H. Ahmed, Bokhari Hamid, Dar Al Naim, Elamin Gasim, Husam Kabri, Khalid Abdel Rahman, Nadi Abunama-Elgadi, Reem Aljeally, Reham Mohamed, Sahar Abdalla, Waleed Mohammad, Yasir Faiz and Yasmeen Abdullah Ahmed.

An accompanying art book on the history and future of Sudan has also been published, details available here.

Sudan Retold opened at Alhosh Gallery in Qatar on 19 September 2025 and is currently on display at Almas Art Foundation in London from until 14 December 2025.
