The children who dream in colour (digital collage, 2024)
I had the honour of being invited to participate in Sudan Living Cultures, an exhibition at The Petrie Museum of Sudanese and Egyptian Archaeology. The project presented a chance to create artwork centred on ancient Sudanese traditions and artefacts, and explore the power of transgenerational knowledge through said heritage. I had the pleasure of working with @dinanursatti and @kandaka.khronicles , two outstanding artists whose work I deeply admire, and the brilliant polymath @faithingeeks who brought us together and gave us the space to create.
I don’t think I’ve worked on anything as timely or necessary, and so close to my heart.
****
I created three ‘worlds’ encouraging people to engage with Sudan’s immense history and imagine ancient Sudanese objects as gateways to other dimensions of possibility. They act as a counterweight to a quiet erasure of our past and as vessels to an optimistic future that cradles the entirety of our past. In each scene, I weave the country’s rich resources, the past and present, and people into a hopeful but murky dream, born at a time of despair and helplessness.
The artworks are digital collages combining various images from Sudan with ancient artefacts in surrealist settings that bend the arc of time.
****
Thanks to Sarita, Anna, Catriona, George and the entire Petrie Museum team, who paved the way for the project and supported us with care and exceptional thoughtfulness.

The exhibition is open until 9th of November 2024 at @petriemuseum

“… not another in sight
Don't need another tonight
Do away with the lights
Your decision way more, I'm a libra tonight
Never quick to decide…”

Emotion in motion ocean is colder at night
Disposable crime, I mean you know what I'm like”
