    Episode 44: (UN)DOING RESISTANCE - Attacks on the Arts in Sudan's 30 years of Islamist rule.

    In April 2019, when millions marched to the headquarters of the military in Khartoum and other cities and the march was transformed into a sit-in that continued for two months, the sit-in became Sudan’s largest arts festival. The art produced during the revolution went viral, as it was covered by foreign journalists who swarmed Khartoum to report on the revolution. However, the narrative was always lacking the historical significance of how art was mobilized. Sudan’s contemporary art history was nurtured by its many revolutions; in 1964, in 1985 and in 2018/2019. Due to the military dictatorships that continued to rule Sudan since independence, except brief honeymoons of democracy, art was always positioned as a revolutionary product. To contextualize, the revolutionary art produced and consumed during the 2018/2019 revolution, this book explores Sudan’s contemporary history by briefly looking at the politically turbulent 1980s and deeply looking at how culture and art were policed in the dark 1990s- which is the period after the Islamists took over power after the 1989 coup. During that period, the entire artistic and cultural landscape came under attack as artists were arrested, sacked from jobs and intimidated, but the infrastructure that has always supported this landscape suffered the most as the book hopes to explain. In this Episode, Omina Shawkat hosts the authors of the book Ruba El Melik is an independent researcher and Reem Abbas is a freelance Sudanese journalist, writer, researcher and communications expert.
