Abdullah Omer Hamza

Born in Sudan, visual artist Abdullah Omer delves into his homeland's social and cultural landscape. His recent 2024 series powerfully confronts the displacement and violence currently plaguing Sudan, a direct response to the devastating conflict that erupted in April 2023. While this context deeply informs his practice, Omer's work extends beyond current events.

He strives to capture the rich tapestry of Sudanese culture and society, depicting the relationships born from its diversity and the geographical variations within the country. Ultimately, his artistic vision seeks to "reshape and bring color back to life" in the aftermath of war and displacement, working towards a more inclusive and peaceful Sudan.
