Artist Profile
Abdulla Omer Hamza
Sudanese conceptual visual artist
Abdulla Omer Hamza (b. Sudan) is a visual artist whose practice explores the social and cultural complexities of his homeland, weaving together narratives of identity, resilience, and collective memory. His recent 2024 series directly addresses the displacement and violence resulting from the conflict that erupted in April 2023, confronting the emotional and physical toll of the ongoing crisis. Yet Omer’s work extends beyond the immediacy of war, capturing Sudan’s rich cultural tapestry through depictions of diverse communities and landscapes that highlight unity amid fragmentation. Committed to envisioning a hopeful future, he strives to "reshape and bring color back to life" in the aftermath of conflict, using art as a space for healing, inclusivity, and the reimagining of peace in Sudan.
