Sudan Retold Edition 1½ is part of a long-term artistic project that began a decade ago, bringing together artists, writers, curators, and cultural workers responding to a Sudan shaped by many cultures, religions, languages, and histories—yet often pushed into a single, linear narrative. Through fiction, personal memory, archival fragments, and visual storytelling, the contributors reflect a country that has always been more complex than the stories told about it. This second volume of the book project was developed during a fragile transitional period—the revolution, interrupted by renewed repression—the military coup, and continued across geographies as the contributors were displaced by the ongoing and devastating war. It brings together chapters from the last book and new chapters, hence the title 1 1/2.
