00:00Doha allows a space for difficult conversations to take place in a world where speech is becoming more and more suppressed and difficult.

00:11And it's becoming more difficult to have honest, open conversations about difficult issues.

00:19The war in Sudan has displaced more than 13 million people, yet their plight remains largely untold in international media.

00:28To address this, Georgetown University, Qatar, is shining a spotlight on some of these stories.

00:34Seeing Sudan, politics through art, brings together scholars, artists, and activists to show how creativity endures, even in the face of war.

00:51When Sudanese American singer Alsara takes the stage, her powerful voice soars,

00:56blending traditional sounds with a modern, defiant edge.

01:01Her music speaks directly to the struggles of her homeland.

01:04I have a band called Alsara and the Nubitons, where we do what I call Sudanese-inspired retro-pop.

01:10A lot of our music was inspired by the idea of migration and home, and carrying sounds with you through that.

01:17Al-Sara's performance connects the threads of Sudan's musical history to the important events of today.

01:29Sudan, at this moment, is in a very dangerous place.

01:32We are in the space of having our entire history erased.

01:36And if we are not active participants in preserving that history, we are going to lose everything.

01:41A different kind of preserving is going on in the kitchen.

01:45Pharmacist-turned-author, Omer Al-Tajani, is documenting the rich culinary traditions of Sudan,

01:51ensuring these beloved recipes endure for future generations.

01:56Sudanese food culture hasn't been documented extensively.

01:59So it's important for me to document it in order for future generations to have access to recipes and food cultures.

02:04Well, what didn't exist is a cookbook about Sudanese food, and I wanted to fill that void, to fill that gap,

02:10and, you know, make a cookbook available for people in English, for, you know, diaspora Sudanese anywhere in the world,

02:16anyone whose first language is English, or maybe they don't speak Arabic and they don't have a strong connection with Sudan.

02:22Amid the chaos and destruction of war, a powerful creative resistance is emerging from Sudan.

02:27Brave artists, storytellers, and activists are using their platforms to preserve the country's rich cultural legacy

02:34and give a voice to the millions displaced.

02:40Khalid Al-Bay's art cuts through the rhetoric and shows how war hurts people through sharp political drawings.

02:45And I've been doing it for almost 15 years now, or even more.

02:49And it's very important to this space to happen, because not only as a political cartoonist, but also for artists, writers, intellectuals,

02:57this is a good space to talk to all these people that got affected by this war.

03:03The conference is part of Georgetown University in Qatar's Hiwarat series, Dialogue in Arabic.

03:09For many, this crucial, long-overdue conversation has been tragically absent from the global stage.

03:15Sudan often is referred to as the forgotten war.

03:21There has not been attention given to it, despite the fact that there is incredible devastation.

03:28We know that 14 million people have been displaced out of a population of 48 million.

03:34And out of those 14 million, at least 5 million are children.

03:38It is important to shed light on this human catastrophe.

03:43Across the country, the diverse cultural identities of Sudan are woven into the very fabric of daily life.

03:51Costume designer Mohamed Simba El-Moor brings these fashion stories to life.

03:56Six years I've just been trying my best to portray why Sudan has this unique wardrobe,

04:04this unique clothing, the different areas, how they dress, what it tells about their culture,

04:09and about their atmosphere, their weather, everything.

04:12From Simba's vivid costumes to the defiant artistry of Khalid al-Bay and al-Sara,

04:18these works are a vital means of preserving memory and ensuring the Sudanese story continues to be heard.

04:26War has been going on for so long, and social media is almost not speaking about it.

04:31We're trying our best, we're sharing whatever we can share, we're talking about it.

04:34So I think we're just kind of like unseen at the moment.

04:36So the best thing to do would be to share more about Sudan, to speak about it, speak about what's happening.

04:42From satire to sounds, food to fashion,

04:45this three-day conference is a celebration of Sudanese creatives and creativity, hosted here in Doha.

04:52Their works represent identity and the fight to be seen and remembered.

04:56So it's only a joke in canteen until the E seeing that it's alive later.

04:59If you get there, you're going to be seen, we're missing one another.

05:03You're going to take a look at the quality of this 질,

05:05and make you happy to understand what it feels like to be seen and управ Hole

05:08So I look at the views of Israel as a curator today,

05:10as I look at the view that moonsault,

05:11I look at the view of a young man for publicity and seeing that this new act onatanese creatives,

05:14as a principle of ICCA.
