About SAF
Show More Show Less
The time to support Sudan’s artists and build Sudan’s art infrastructure is now. Many artists in Sudan are unable to pursue their work as they need to focus on providing for themselves and their families in the face of challenging economic conditions. With little to no financial support, it is often not an option to focus on artistic expression, even when needed. SAF strives to support Sudanese artists, $500 at a time. The popularity, power and impact of Sudanese artists cannot be understated. Since the 1950s, modern Sudanese art has been auctioned and sold to collectors around the world. The works of visionary modernist painter Ibrahim el-Salahi are displayed in the Tate Gallery in London, but Salahi does not work in Sudan. More recently, during the 2019 sit-in in the Army HQ in Khartoum, art and artists have played a significant role mobilizing support by turning the sit-in to an open-air gallery that Connected arts and culture to the struggle for millions around the world. To keep the momentum, We in SAF would like to ensure that while artists continue supporting Sudan democracy by practing, we build growth in the creative economy, sustainability, and inclusion
