Abstract:
This study explores the pivotal role of art as a form of resistance within Sudan's nonviolent movement, particularly emphasizing how creative expression fosters unity, resilience, and dialogue amid political turmoil. By examining the historical context of artistic activism in Sudan, the research highlights vital events that link art to resistance and analyze the impact of conflict and authoritarianism on the creative community. Utilizing qualitative research methods, including interviews with artists, activists, and community leaders, the study reveals how art reflects societal issues and is an active engagement tool for communities to pursue justice and peace. Secondary data collection includes reports from human rights organizations, academic publications, and archival material on Sudanese art and activism. The findings underscore the transformative potential of creative expression, urging stakeholders to recognize and support art's role in shaping a more just and equitable future for Sudan and encouraging them to take action in this direction.
