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.
