Yasmin Elnour

This work follows @jumana.eltgani family and her lived experience of water in Sudan, from childhood rhythms of scarcity and relief to what endures when systems fail. It came into being through a collaboration with @wellcomecollection , and it began with care. Everyone Gives, Everyone Receives speaks to community solidarity. The Water Has Come, Everything Is Okay holds the joy and safety children feel when the water returns. The Zeer Keeper honours Jumana’s grandmother, tending the zeer and sustaining anyone who passed by thirsty. And then The Descent, where long histories of neglect surface into the present. In Sudan today, water is controlled and withheld, with over 1,250 wells destroyed. At a time when Sudan is so often reduced or ignored, this work insists on something else. It centres Sudanese voices and resists violence through dignity, care, and shared life. I’m grateful to Jumana for trusting me with her story. This work mattered to me. The artworks weave together Jumana’s testimony, archival material, digital collage, and AI-assisted image generation to hold lived pasts and unfolding presents. Thank you to Vanesha @van.doggg for making space for this work and for holding this story with such care. Thanks to @wellcomecollection for supporting this important story.

Artwork created for @dailypaper SS23 Drop 1 ‘Under The Same Moon’ Continuing to celebrate natures way of exchanging nutrients and highlighting how we can collectively live together; through mutual support, collaboration and harmony. Featured on the White Sand Perdo Jacket- this embroidered emblem contains what I refer to as the ‘Mother Hub’. In nature 'Hubs' or ‘Mother Trees’ are usually larger or older trees in a plant network which are strongly connected. This type of tree may feed others in need of nutrients around it. Even when it is dying, it releases a surge of carbon into the network for the next generation. This even includes different species of trees. It was important for me to visualise this metaphor because I believe it forms a very big part of the brands identity and it’s impact on the world. By using the word 'Mother' we are also celebrating the power of motherhood in nurturing communities and ofcourse commemorating the spirit of Mother Nature herself. #dailypaper #motherhub #mycelium #community #nature #plantnetworks

Yasmin Elnour is a Sudanese artist and designer whose practice moves between architecture, image, film, fashion, and research. 🇸🇩 Her work traces how histories of movement, adaptation, and colonial interruption have shaped the ways people see, live, and remember. Drawing from archives, artifacts, and oral histories, she creates visual languages that honor continuity and transformation, with the aim to educate, empower, and reconnect. Join Yasmin and other special guests this Saturday evening at Youngblood Africa on Bree Street for the Sudan Supper Club Fundraiser. 🇸🇩 This one-night-only event is a celebration of culture, creativity, and community. Yasmin will be demonstrating her powerful artwork and connecting it to themes from throughout Sudan’s history. All proceeds from the event will be donated to AlAbbasiya Community Kitchen in Omdurman @abbasiya.kitchen who are providing critical food, clean water, and clinic services just outside of Sudan’s capital city. Ticket link in bio. See you this Saturday. ✊🏽 #yasminelnour #sudansupperclub #alleyesonsudan #youngbloodafrica #editionevents

Artwork created for @dailypaper SS23 Drop 1 ‘Under The Same Moon’. Titled 'Under The Same Moon', the collection is a love letter to language and conversation, the teachings of nature and its network, and an elevation of self through generational knowledge. Inspirations drawn from North-Africa's heritage rooted in an artisanal and nomadic lifestyle, tribal culture, the connection to the land and the spoken and written language. The main concept behind this artwork is to celebrate natures way of exchanging nutrients and highlighting how we can collectively live together; through mutual support, collaboration and harmony. Mycelium is a root-like structure of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. It gives plants a natural network for absorbing and sharing nutrients in soil. Not only do plants exchange nutrients, they can also use this system to warn each other when there is a threat, such as pests or disease. This network enables different plants and even different species to work together and thrive. With this graphic we honour the power of exchange and community; and turning to natures plant networks as a guide to empowering and elevating each other. Anyone who knows me well knows I have always loved and appreciate this brand and what it stands for. So this project was a really amazing experience for me. It’s an honour to get to share and create meaningful art, whatever form it may take. #dailypaper #motherhub #mycelium #community #nature #plantnetworks #gq
