00:00Doha allows a space for difficult conversations to take place in a world where speech is becoming more and more suppressed and difficult.
00:10And 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.
00:33Seeing Sudan, politics through art, brings together scholars, artists and activists to show how creativity endures, even in the face of war.
00:43When Sudanese-American singer Alsara takes the stage, her powerful voice soars, blending 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.
01:23Alsara'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.
01:42A 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.
01:55Sudanese 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.
02:07And I wanted to fill that void, to fill that gap and, you know, make a cookbook available for people in English,
02:13for, you know, diaspora Sudanese anywhere in the world, anyone whose first language is English,
02:18or maybe they don't speak Arabic and they don't have a strong connection with Sudan.
02:21Amid 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.
02:37So that actually needs cemented.
02:40Khaled 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,
02:55but also for artists, writers, intellectuals, this 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.
03:16Sudan often is referred to as the forgotten war.
03:20There 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.
03:37It is important to shed light on this human catastrophe.
03:44Across 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.
03:57Six years I've just been trying my best to portray why Sudan has this unique wardrobe,
04:03with this unique clothes and, you know, like the different areas, how they dress,
04:08what it tells about their culture and 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
04:21and ensuring the Sudanese story continues to be heard.
04:25War 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,
04:39speak about what's happening.
04:40From satire to sounds, food to fashion,
04:46this three-day conference is a celebration of Sudanese creatives and creativity,
04:50hosted here in Doha.
04:52Their works represent identity and the fight to be seen and remembered.
