Standing in front of a powerful army, how could the civilian movement find the strength to persist? In conversations, in demonstrations, on walls, it emerges how the Sudanese tradition for poetry becomes a powerful tool for activism. Art, music and poetry bolster every stage of the Sudanese fight for freedom. Sudan, Remember Us bears witness to a lost revolution and within it unearths a tribute to the power of creativity as a tool of survival and resistance.

Join us for a screening, followed by recitations by two of the poets, Kreem Aldinn Alnoor and Khatab Ahmed, whose journeys are chronicled in Sudan, Remember Us. The afternoon will conclude with an in-conversation between filmmaker Leena Habiballa and activist Alaa Salah, reflecting on the making of the film and on the role of poetry, memory and collective resistance in Sudan’s ongoing struggle for freedom.

Doors open at 1.30pm; event starts at 2pm and finishes at 5pm.
