Sudanese contemporary art
comes from the wonderful work of the country’s expatriate artists since the late sixties. Their
extensive international networking - across Africa, the Middle East, Europe and America -
suggests the flexibility of their cultural backgrounds and the impact of their professional training in
Khartoum, primarily at the School of Fine and Applied Art, and overseas. The exodus of these
artists from their professional base at home is poignant.
